On a single income? I don't think so.

By the way, our healthcare system is in serious crisis, take that into account too.

Having moved here from Sweden, it's about the same honestly. From my read on it, just about every public healthcare system is in crisis the world over because moneyed interests are applying political pressure and forcing the market towards privatization everywhere.
