People only come here because generally speaking, you have as much of a chance at succeeding at a living as a person born here. The freedoms and that are the two biggest draws. That doesn’t equate to best health, best education, best this or that other thing. It helps, but it doesn’t always equal 100% awesomeness. And I guess you are right, generally speaking, those do outweigh the cons (worse medicine and education systems than in some other parts of the world). It really depends on what ‘variable’ you’re looking at. Of course there will be things that America excels at or is the world leader in. That’s a given.
Well then, sir, I am f’ed cause I have not heard good things about spinal surgery when it comes to fusion of sections of the back.
And again…I am going to see family…but also making plans to get checked out while there. If anything, it’s a partial win-win.
