Komol tata, Carlos! Yes, you're right - TRUST is the only way to connect with us, island people. It takes long but eventually, it will get there once the TRUST open up :-) Iakwe from Arkansas - our state legislators have confirmed to move forward with the Medicaid on March 1, 2021.

Ask any American ( US citizen) defense contractor who works or worked in RMI on the Kwajalein Atoll for what they think of the Marshallese government. Opinions may vary.
