Absolutely.
EDIT: @robotbeat: Yes, but I have lost my confidence in the US Congress and the electorate. Until that confidence is restored (Medicare For All is passed), I have to make plans to live in a functioning nation, as a single healthcare event can wipe you out entirely. I would rather pay more taxes (yes! I like taxes, with them I buy civilization) and take my wealth to where sanity prevails (and like minded citizens vote for representatives who vote in their electorate's interest, instead of against them).

To me, M4A is about everyone BUT retirees. Just lower the eligibility age to zero.
Where you will then be a target of U. S. foreign policy. I'm still on the fence about which I'd rather face.
And yeah, my retirement plans are based on going somewhere with a sane health care system too...
One guy I know was denied a renewal to continue working at his company, which should be a steady state formality. He was making a great wage, not eligible for Medicare and the tax bracket is punishing until you have PR. He was a cash cow win/win deal that my country saw fit to pass on.
It may be easier than moving to the US, but compared to NZ or Germany, the other countries I have first hand experience with, it's practically Fort Knox.
In fact it's widely seen as easier to immigrate to NZ first then use that to get to Australia, though that differs with policy changes and your occupation.
I'd recommend NZ anyway, at least if you're semi retiring. The wages aren't great but everything else is better.
