weeell hip...here are a couple of ideas.

1-Finish uni, move to London & you'll have all the kiwis, aussies, saffies and canucks you could want. Find a nice pub frequented by the aussie or kiwi guys or go to a cricket match, rugby game or something like that..

2-Find out where the local Aussies & Kiwis hang out in Seattle and

I did it a very weird way...I met my dear in Kelowna while visiting a friend, moved to Japan, then NZ. It wasn't a plan to move to Australia until Ian was promoted & transferred by his company.

Right, back to tissue infections-are you sure you want to wait until Jan 11th? Is that a good idea?

Or do like UK Elephant did, and find out where the Brits, Irish, Aussies etc. hang out at your US uni ... Worked for her. 'Course, she already had national health insurance from Norway, but the bf is quite nice anyway.

why do you need anyone to help you expatriate? Find a job in Europe and go. Free health care to anyone who needs it! You get sick, all you have to do is turn up at the doctors and they do the rest!

UK, what a novel idea! Health Care for all. Why that's unthinkable, we can't have that here, you'd have all these sick and injured people just showing up at the doctors expecting to get care like any day at all, not even waiting till the 11th till wounds fester and so on, just getting things taken care of right away and getting back to work. We can't have that, it's it's un-American .

sorry for the hijack, now back to your normal thread.

Behold the power of insurance companies. Don't let me get started.

(BTW - all that money getting charged to y'all? It ain't comin' to me! SKnot and I are living below the "low income" line for Seattle, and I pull in b*ttloads of money every day for the powers-that-be.)

yes, Knot, I had a frozen shoulder a couple years ago. I started a regimen with a great PT. I have "excellent" insurance but after 1000 dollars, I hit the limit. Even though I was responding well to treatment, I no longer had coverage! I ended up paying out of pocket, but what if i had a more serious problem? I would have been well into debt quickly!

The nice lady at Country Doctor took one look at me and wrote me the necessary referral with the statement, "I don't think I've ever been happier to send somebody away to the specialty docs in my life."
