Costa Rica, Dominica, Chile, UAE, Cyprus, Colombia, Oman, San Marino, Andorra, Malta ........

.... and 26 other nations have better health care than we do in the US.

And yet we spend more than twice, per capita, than any of them.

THAT ..... is fucked up.

But hey ....... how 'bout those profits, huh? Yeah, boy!

2. One of the reasons I'm retiring to Costa Rica in 7 years.

I can afford to retire early in Costa Rica. Health insurance costs would kill me here in the states...and the quality of care is actually as good or better there.

3. Lots of American expats down there. A friend of mine owns a few hundred acres of waterfront there ..

.... and has offered to sell me a few to build on ....... so I have looked into the country. Good and bad as it seems thus far. Most people suggest Belize.

I'd rather stay right here.

4. I've been in Ohio for almost 35 years. Ever experienced an Ohio winter?

I'm determined to move someplace where I never have to see snow if I don't want to :)

5. I lived in Wadsworth and worked in Westfield Center

I wasn't there 35 years, but long enough to know I hated the cloudy winters and the crappy weather

6. I grew up in Wellington...live in Westlake now.

Work in Oberlin.

It doesn't take 35 years. Everything you need to know about how crappy Ohio weather is, you can get in about 35 minutes...
