Aaand the healthcare brings us all back. Okay, the plural of anecdotes isn't data, but among my circle of re-pats, we all came back because the undercurrent of worry moving from a country of simply (not easily; just simply) accessible healthcare to one with so many extra steps (even with an excellent plan) and the chance of going bankrupt through decisions made for an unconscious person, it wasn't balanced out by the raw paycheque upgrade.

F that. Life's too short to hoard against the day when you get in a car accident and go to the wrong hospital.

I work for a US company, make a salary that puts me in the top 1% of salaries in Canada , and live in an eastern Ontario town of 200 people. I would never move to the US.

Ever.
