I have recently been offered a job in the U.S. They offered me $200,000 dollars a year which is significantly more than I get at the moment. But I'm worried about the cost of health insurance this is because I've had cancer - the cost might be astronomical and the company doesn't offer free medical insurance. A friend of mine who also just recently recovered from cancer went on holiday to the U.S. and was charged $2800 dollars insurance for just two weeks.
I don't particularly want to leave the safety net of the NHS as it might end up costing me more money to live in the U.S even if I'm getting paid more.
So I phoned up the company and explained why I wasn't comfortable moving and that I wanted $300,000 a year. I've since heard from a friend who works for them that they think I'm a "greedy limey arsehole who thinks he's a f...ing star but is actually a f...ing idiot". But I'm telling you something I'm not moving until they pay 300k or the U.S gets itself an NHS.
The NHS is a great system, when I was ill I got $80,000 worth of cancer treatment and I didn't have to pay a penny. It's absolutely brilliant. America should do it.
Or maybe you did!
