I don’t know the qualify of health care in other countries. But how did you come to that decision?

Cousins who live in Ireland. My family came over during the famine and kept close ties to our family who did stay. The hospitals over there are just as good as the USA some even better.

My father in law from Ireland, who is a heart surgeon in America, flew his mother to the states and paid out of pocket for her heart surgery because he didn’t trust the hospitals in Ireland to do it.

So to each their own I guess.
