[quote=Anonymous]I'm 8 years younger than DH who is in his early 60s. One of our kids who's a HS freshman has a chronic illness. Because DH will have to go on Medicare in 4 years and DK will just be graduating HS, I will have to go on ACA with our DKs if I can't transition to full-time work with benefits - right now DK's condition means I've pieced together many part-time gigs.

If the current Freedom Caucus iteration of ACA destruction passes this week we will most likely attempt  to buy citizenship in an EU country (probably can only afford an eastern one or Portugal/Spain and eventually get our kids EU passports).  Otherwise, we love Latin America and will move somewhere there for half a year and maintain a small place in a lower COLA area that's warm in the US. Our healthcare would be mostly taken care of overseas when possible, although we would have to maintain Medicare supplemental/insurance here too.

We are disgusted at the turn our country has taken in particular this year and don't really care to have our kids/potential grandkids suffer through their adult lives here. Our DKs are on board.

The US has allowed itself to be passed by much of the rest of the world in terms of substandard infrastructure development/maintenance, rampant, unfettered corporate malfeasance/tax evasion and outsourcing/automation without consideration for workers and awful health care access over the past 2 decades and shows no signs of a quick turnaround even if the current bozos are thrown out - which won't happen for awhile with the Republican gerrymandering going on.[/quote]
