French girl I work with works in Switzerland. Very, very good wedge. Lives back across the border in France so good cost of living as well. Has been on secondment in San Diego for about 18 months and had a baby over there. Reckons it's cost her about 20k all in. She has the money pretty easily but god help the average American.
You do realize that essentially no one would ever actually pay 7 grand for an ambulance ride?
