You left the UK because of the NHS? Ok, i agree it's a post code lottery in terms of best service etc, but it's one of the best things about being British and saved my fathers life. UK to US isn't worth it in my opinion, but everyone has their reasons, logical or not.

I was being facetious. There are a multitude of reasons why I wanted to leave the UK. One of them being that I dislike the sheer size, scope, and depth of the welfare system.

Politically, I'm a libertarian individual. Don't find too many of those in the UK. Don't find many in NY, either. But this is just the next step for me in a multi-step plan of getting somewhere I do want to be.
