If wages are to rise, workers need more bargaining power

I’d rather be in the UK one. I refuse to be held hostage by the medical industrial complex.

The hospital charges my wife for her stay, my newborn son for his “stay”, her OB charged for the procedure, and the neonatologist charged. Whatever isn’t paid by insurance automatically becomes our responsibility, with no recourse to dispute.

We are actively working to leave this country.

Where are you headed? Wife and I left and have been delighted; happy to chat if you like.

Germany (EU) or Columbia (SA). Would love to chat, will send an email intro if you don’t mind.

Don't mind in the least! But the ball's in your court since I don't see contact info for you in your profile.

Germany is, by all accounts, amazing. It's where my wife and I holiday and we've contemplated opening a B and B there a few years down the road. If I were coming to the EU fresh I'd be looking closely at Germany, Denmark, or the Netherlands.

http://www.bluecard-eu.de/eu-blue-card-germany/ is very relevant for a skilled migrant interested in Germany.

I can't comment on Colombia though.
