Healthcare in the USA

Can completely identify with this concern, experienced the same worry when we relocated to NYC 2 years ago. Healthcare in the USA is tricky – initially we signed like idiots on the dotted line and spent the first year on a package organised by my spouse's company - it was rubbish. In short, it was accepted by next to no one. We've now changed to Blue Cross Blue Shield, a plan that most doctors accept. My advice, before you opt for a package, call around to a few GPs in your area and find out what they accept.

Don't forget that your kids - if you have - will need proof of an annual health check before they start school. If possible, bring your immunisation records with you.

Admittedly, the standard of healthcare in the USA is pretty exemplary, it's just insanely expensive...
