really? I find that hard to believe. For that kind of money you can have 
top level of subscription (or should I say health care insurance) in 
private sector, that is the one not covered by national healthcare. For 
you and few members of your family.
National insurance costs me less than $100 a month and it is part of the 
tax anyway. Well, most of it, actual numbers don't matter.
Why don't you move to Poland? The labor cost is almost as cheap as in 
China, quality almost as good as in Japan, we drink almost like 
Russians, and the gals are the best in the world. Food and gass is more 
expensive than in US, but you'll get used to that, as apartments are 
almost free of charge from your point of view.
Actually I invite every talented synth builder over here!
OTOH we are facing threat of the war just across the border now, so 
maybe wait and see. And since there's Russia vs. NATO involved, it may 
trigger a WW III and then we just don't care for synths anymore.
