America vs Israel is not really part of the equation. Even those who feel that there is a mitzva to live in E”Y today, the chiyuv does not over-ride pikuach nefesh, or parnassa needs, or chinuch needs, etc.
So I think the question here – is it better to have better medical care but be alone or be with family and compromise on medical treatment? Considering that being with loved ones affects one’s health, quality of life and longevity, it is not a simple question.
