We have the most progressive government within the USA. We have free medical (I have new glasses and hearing aids, neither of which is covered by Medicare or most private insurance) which is significant, programs for housing, employment training, job subsidies, a new medical school which will train doctors for free if they agree to work in the Cherokee Nation after graduation, food banks, and lots more. We are earning millions of dollars in Cherokee businesses, including casinos, and we are healthier financially than the state.
