Hi Everyone

I think the NHS has become somewhat of a security blanket for a lot of people. I have a thyroid condition and need regular blood tests. I think nothing of nipping to the surgery and asking the nurse to fit me in. Healthcare US style is a totally different ball game, i will just have to get used to it. $7000 for a broken elbow is an outrageous amount of money.

Its the whole uncertainly of illness/accidents that is worrying. I am told that on the 0-1 visa we can get US health insurance after 6 months, if that is the case we may risk it and take out general medical insurance for that time.

Its all very confusing, as Scarlett O' Hara said "I'll think about that tomorrow".
