Moving to Europe for health care was the best decision I ever made

In the spring of 2021, I noticed a new ache in my left hip. Fast forward three years and I have made the bold decision to relocate my family, two school aged sons, three cats and a dog, to southern Italy — a decision I did not take lightly. Better food, better climate, friendly locals, breathtakingly beautiful scenery, and of course, universal health care, all factored into my decision to buy. After two years of visiting Italy back and forth, amid a growing concern for the political direction in which the United States was headed, I made the decision that life was too short to bide my time waiting to be where I knew I should be. In light of the current French Revolution-type of discontent with the health care industry, I am grateful I made the bold decision to move to Italy and enjoy the benefits of free health care.
