International vs American postdocs: What to expect?

[hejduk]

I'm interested in getting the communities opinions and information on differences, expectations, experiences in postdocs both in the US and abroad. I'm currently applying for one abroad, and I'm wondering if they typically include any type of insurance, housing, etc. Moving from the US to Europe would be expensive, and I'm worried about health insurance, as well as my spouse obtaining employment (if they're even legally allowed to work there). 

 

Any insights are appreciated.

It varies from country to country just what is included with the postdoc.
