[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with the PPs saying relocate. It's not at all that simple. Companies outside of the DMV 1) want to pay him way less. Like less than 50% of his previous salary and 2) want him in town to start today. So to do that idea he'd need to relocate ahead of you to interview. [/quote]
Didn't say it was simple, but it can be done.  Of course, if they have HS aged kids, that would be a problem.

But, if they are empty nesters?  i don't see why they can't do it. Even if their kids are in state college, they could declare their kids independent to continue to get in state tuition.

If they want him to start in 2 weeks, he can rent a small place up there while they get their house here ready to rent or sell.  It will be hard but not impossible. People have done it before.

I'm a firm believer in "where there is a will, there is a way".

So, OP's DH has a few choices:

1. remain here unemployed hoping for something forever - pay for $$$ ACA
2. remain here and work at Target, Costco, Starbucks - get healthcare but work a low skill/wage job
3. apply to jobs elsewhere  -- get healthcare, and maybe use your skills and get paid better than #2

IDK, If I was desperate for healthcare and income, I would do #3, #2, #1.[/quote]
