SO Happy! Thank you Governor Nixon!!!!! NOW, if we could just make private insurance available and affordable to ALL families. Some of us are one-income families because we care for our children with Autism full-time. So making ends meet, having medical insurance......lots of issues there!! ~~always ask for more, at the most, you might get want you request, but you will never get it if you don't ask!!~~
