My gran came from Nebraska !
I have a special needs Daughter too, but it is me who is on the operating table all the time, though her time will come !
We may get "free" healthcare, paid for by heavy taxes, but you have far superior Health care over there !
I was a Nurse, and my Canadian Mum was a Nurse, and my Nebraskan Gran was a General and Psychiatric Nurse.....and they all agree you are far superior - I would rather pay like you do and have the good health care, than pay for it in taxes which are drained away for Iraq instead !
I bet your Vets are the same - far better !
