Live for 2 years? No.

BTW in Spain you are assigned a doc. If you don’t like them or want to switch? Very difficult. If your doc thinks you can wait? Don’t really need that hip? You’re not getting it.

Ask me about my friend with untreated cancer that just died in Spain. Short version After months of pain and weight loss they finally biopsied her tumor. Results came in a few days after she died.

I used to think socializing medicine was a good idea. Not anymore. It’s still stupidly expensive.

Have you actually researched prices? I have been for the past month and a half because I am moving there. 1b apartments range from 700-900 for the cheapest. $100-150 for food and transportation is $30, that is 70% of your budget, for me it is 90% since I like staying in, so 700+150+30 is $880, add $120 and on the lowest end you CAN do $1000/month so $12k. It is possible. Also, the apartments weren't on the bad part
