Any Canadian's considering moving to the USA?
I'm kind of in a strange boat right now where I'm really comfortable in Canada yet I can't shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card, if I ever choose to relocate to the USA. I can live pretty much anywhere I want as I'm a remote employee, but I do travel to the USA for client work.
It's a tough decision to make. While I consider it, I thought I'd ask the community. So, say you good lemmings?

No. Their cost of living is insane, plus I have T1D, which would be a pre-existing condition under their insurance schemes. Not insurmountable, but would be an ongoing issue. Plus their culture is intolerable.
Nope, I'm happy to sit up here in ol' Canada, living high on the hog, taking advantage of a 1.32 USD/CAD exchange rate.
US health insurance is no longer allowed to consider pre-existing conditions. That was made illegal by the Affordable Care Act about 10 years ago.
Of course, depending on who gets elected, that may change in the future…
