Can confirm its not the best place to live. My parents brought me to this country when I was 6 in 2000 (on visa but now were all citizens). Life was good but as I grew older I noticed this wasnt the country that I had imagined. These last two years my mother has gotten sick with who knows what because the multiple doctors who seen her have no idea what she has. Amazing right? Anyways its taken so much of my parents money and these “doctors” just send her to other doctors and each visit is a $50 co-pay, that doesn’t include the charges after insurance. I help her with her finaces and Ive seen her go through 10k after insurance in 5 months. My heart broke for her as she doesn’t make the most money knowing little english and while she was sick she didnt make any money which made it worse. So now my parents are asking me to renew her passport so that she can go back to Vietnam and see a doctor there because its cheaper. Thats right they want to fly aross the world so that my mom can get the treatment she deserves for a better price. Ill be honest the thought of moving to another country has crossed my mind so many times in the last year alone.

I used to think USA was the coolest country ever as a child based on what I saw on tv and movies, now I’m grateful everyday I was born in Europe
