OK buddy - you have me really confused here. You are talking about two countries and two Heathcare systems. So: where did your mother live: US or UK? and where are you referring to in your text in the red colour?

I lived in Henderson for about 5 years by the Henderson airport or up in the hills above it.
So you get on Interstate 15 and drive for about 2 hours and eventually pass through Arizona and then into Utah and we are on the state line. It is much better than LV but not as good as some parts of the UK.

Climate

Because of the city's low elevation and southerly location, St. George is the hottest part of the state and has a mid-latitude arid climate (Koppen BWk), with maximum daily July temperatures averaging about 102 °F (39 °C). The hottest temperature ever recorded in Utah, 118 °F (48 °C), was recorded as being in a place south of St. George, near the Arizona border, on July 4, 2007.[citation needed] T
St. George lies in a desert and averages 8.25 inches (210 mm) of precipitation annually.as April 11 (in 1927).[citation needed] The record single day snowfall is 10.0 in (25.4 cm), set on January 5, 1974.

Rosie, I think you know I was just relaying this posting that I got from somewhere.
The person was saying her mother died in the US because they couldn't afford medical treatment. I think that is what they said.

Cheers, mate, I like you - I really do - but one of the first rules on any online forum is that a person really shouldn't be cutting-and-pasting from other forums as you are using someone's information without their consent.

You've actually posted one or two of my comments (regarding failing my driving test) that you lifted from the UK-Yankee forum. Because I know you and know that you were just sharing in order to update everyone, I didn't say anything but really, people shouldn't be doing this on forums.

I'm surprised the mods here haven't picked up on this because I've seen posts from you on more than one occasion that you've taken from UK-Yankee ... and I know that for a fact because I participate over there and have, for years. (And I know that you are over there under your pseudo 'Cheers'.)

Not having a go at you Cheers, but it's not good practice to cut-and-paste comments w/o permission - especially from a different website altogether - especially ones that cover issues that tend to stir the pot.

In kindness and respect,

Denise
