911wasalie Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 If you have a job in the States the company may or may not cover your health insurance. Most employees who have a pre-existing condition are not covered for that particuler problem. So you are covered for anything until you claim then that goes out the window. If you manage to live into retirement you will be charged $100 a month for part B which covers you for doctors visits and some medication. Part B doesn't cover every state, in fact doesn't cover every county since the company operating the system may not operate there. So if you travel within the USA you will probably not be insured and will have to pay a hefty doctors bill. My advice to you is if you're as poor as a church mouse or as rich as Rockerfeller then you're ok, otherwise stay well away. Don't ask, OK.

Gerry Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I hear you, Gerry. And in the profession from which I recently retired I would undoubtedly have benefitted from a decent group medical plan had I lived and worked there. Back in the late 60s when there was all that unrest on university campuses in the states, I was offered a job in Riverside, California. I turned it down and instead went to Newfoundland, of all places. I used to get ribbed about it at international gatherings. "Hey, I want to introduce you to this guy who turned down a job near Palm Springs to go and live in somewhere called New Finland." The guy who did this the most was the one who took the job after I'd turned it down. You've guessed it - another Canadian. I imagine that Newfoundland is pretty much like Cape Breton, N.S. rogG, so you probably enjoy some of the best lobsters in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soft ayperth Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I imagine that Newfoundland is pretty much like Cape Breton, N.S. rogG, so you probably enjoy some of the best lobsters in the world. Similar, but even more rugged and with a more hostile climate, Gerry. But I don't live there anymore. I'm on a smaller, slightly less isolated island, Prince Edward Island, where we get world class lobsters, mussels and oysters. Mmmmm. But I have travelled quite a bit in the states. My favorite vacationing spots were New Hampshire, New Orleans (who could forget the Big Easy) and naturally, Hawaii. You'd have to be cracked not to like it there.

Paul2412 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 What would the chances of 2 young (late 20's) guys getting a green card to emigrate there who own their own company? Basically, we are possibly looking at going over to extend our business, but at the same time we both really like the USA and would love to emigrate. My dad is a green card holder. Would that make it any easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
