I left the Army where I had free healthcare for me and my family - I got spoiled. I really can't afford it now that I'm out and not with a big company. I've thought of going into the Reserves just to have the option to buy it again.

Healthcare really does suck.

If you are inclined to move somewhere else, there are lots of countries with affordable healthcare (most of Europe, and I guess Canada for example).

I am, the problem is that my wife isn't...yet. I'm working on it for sure.

How easy are these countries to get into (and become a working member of their society)? I know Switzerland and New Zealand are particularly tough.

Canada has more opportunities than people, which is why getting in is particularly easy.

Did you miss the Montreal open-source thread here yesterday? =)

Canada is great for tech people looking for work. We need people up here. Sure, it gets cold in the winter, but it's really not that bad.
