Having lived and worked in the US im afraid though my lifestyle was much better, i will stick to the UK for everything else, sadly the american dream has a massive price tag, be it health or whatever, sadly, from the years i was there, everyone i met was obsessed with wealth no matter what, the US tax system in my opinion was better than UK, that is fairer, so until as previously stated the mighty dollar stops ruling the brain of all, you will just have to put up, with it.
