I guess I did have health insurance coverage I had to pay of about $2,400 over that time, which I don't pay anymore because my wifes work offers a great plan so we don't have any premiums. Savings in taxes over the 2 years in the US approx. $3,200. I've waited less time and and am up about $800 in straight taxes alone.

Will you be covered if you are not employed?
We should talk again when you turn 80, oh wait you aren't expected to live that long under the US system
I wonder how much your insurance will be when you are 40, 50 or 60?
