    Both extremes are bad.
    Lived there for some time. If you have a job u have a medical insurance. If you don't have a job and you are not Caymanian then you are not supposed to be there.

    If you are Caymanian you will get a job anyway. 99% of companies are obliged to hire locals first. And yes, I wrote just hire, the pool of local "talent" is limited and obbligations towards local gov. must be met.

    The trick is to eat fresh fish in the Cayman Islands.
