I am living in Sweden and love it here.

Everything you hear about socialized medicine is true, except the lines and waiting. very fine care, I usually see a doctor the day I call for an appointment, if not, the day after. I will not be spending more than 500usd for out of pocket expenses in any 12 month period.

And is is soooo much fun watch American Politics from a distance.

Wherever you go, make sure to join Democrats Abroad.
