I live in Massachusetts where 98% of residents have health insurance (compared to 75% in Texas) and most people share at least some of my values. I have a job I love that I can stay at until my mid-70s if I want to and retire with a small pension.

> All in all, I have a good life for which I am grateful, as long as i can keep my depression under control.In the US, I was my happiest in Massachusetts. The shores (North and South), the central "snowy" part of the state, the rich history, the Berkshires, the specialness of Boston. It was the closest to home I had felt.
It is a lot harder living in Florida.
