What country did you emigrate from? Norway

When did you emigrate to the U.S.? 1990

How did you arrive in the U.S.? airplane

Why did you immigrate to the U.S.? For the reasons of job opportunities and the desire to pursue new experiences. I and my family of 5 are now all US citizens. What I appreciate most in this country is the chance to live and work among a diverse population. What I am most dissappointed about is that we, as the only democratic country in the world, as well as the richest, is unwilling to admit that universal health coverage is a basic right, and that we all have the obligation to pay for it. A hundred years from now we will look back and be disgusted by the fact that we in the early 21 century allowed that about 10% of our population was without basic health care coverage.
