The question doesn't need to be hypothetical. I am moving to a country exactly like that. From the US.

Lack of modern health care coverage alone is enough to justify it. A bonus is that the quality of life across the board is significantly higher.

Where at and howโ€™d you pull that off? Inquiring minds want to know

Can't answer the where at, but most likely by having an in demand skill and/or a job already lined up. Either that or they had family there. Immigration away from here is basically impossible otherwise.

Yep. Sucks being trapped here forever unless I get a PhD or get rich.
