I've talked about it a million times it seems like. Short version: Quebec's health care system harms autistic children in Quebec. We were on waiting lists for years to get any care whatsoever. Going the private route meant north of $30k a year, none of it offset by the prices we already paid for care. This still required a 1+ year wait.
First 2 weeks in Pennsylvania resulted in more care than we got in the more than year up in Quebec fighting for anything for my son. My wife, a Canadian who was afraid of the US health care system before, loves it now. State/county helps to cover the cost of care for our children.
I suspected you were in Pennsylvania (but didn't want to say it, for I prefer not to speculate on others' health problems) based on your other posts. Yes, the state has an excellent MR/MH program (disclaimer: my father worked for the state government).
U.S. health insurance is not something to be proud of in general, but Pennsylvania's support for children with special needs is excellent.
