I'm just giving it to you straight here. I'm not mincing words. Salvation is serious business. Life is serious business.
With all due respect, even your wife should come second after God.
But wouldn't your insurance cover the same level of medical care for your wife in another state? What does your wife's illness have to do with you putting God first?
Perhaps if you did more spiritual reading, you'd see where I'm coming from --
For example, there was one case where a man was willing to go to hell for the material benefit of his sons. Basically he was putting his human love for his sons over the love of God. He was living in a state of mortal sin, which he couldn't get out of without financially ruining his sons. (He couldn't just go to confession, because he needed to get out of a STATE of sin, make restitution, etc.)
Eventually, the man became terminally ill. The doctor told him he could be cured, but it would cost one of his sons something dear (I can't remember this exact detail). Maybe it was some of his blood, or another body part.
But the punchline was this: the son refused. The father's eyes were opened, and he said: "You can't give up ____ (certainly was something earthly) for me, but here I was willing to endure eternal Hell for you and your brother's sakes. I see now how foolish I was. Forget you! From now on, I'm going to take care of my own immortal soul!"
And the man sold his business (etc.) and made restitution for all his ill gotten gains, went to confession, and got his soul right with God. The sons lost their would-be inheritance.
Moral of the story: it's foolish to prioritize ANYTHING over God, and the good of your eternal soul. Even putting family before God is foolish. We all die ALONE and appear at the judgment seat of God ALONE.
I can't pretend to know all the details of your particular situation, so I'm not judging you. What I can say with confidence, however, is that we all are expected to put God as the first priority of our lives. To serve Him *at all costs*. All of life is a test -- do we love God, or not?
Of course you should do what your conscience, your common sense, and your virtue of Prudence dictates. All I'm vehemently pushing on you is that you keep this over-arching thought in mind: Life is short, life is a test to see if we choose/love God or not. God alone matters.
