 The Federal Government has done a poor job of running health care system on Indian reservations.

A perfect example of failed government run health care: Medical facilities on Indian reservations are almost completely run by the federal government. The service SUCKS as these articles will illustrate.

Now, In 2006, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that about 1.0 percent of the U.S. population was of American Indian or Alaska Native descent. If the Federal Government is incapable of of providing adequate care for 1% of the the country's 300 million people, how will they have ANY hope of providing adequate care to the whole population? It is not about medical care. It is NOT about medical insurance. It is about CONTROL.

Headline: The Dark Side of Health Care on Native American Reservations. On paper, the situation sounds good: Based on a 1787 agreement between tribes and the United States government, the U.S. has an obligation to provide American Indians with free health care on reservations.

But that's not how it works, reports the Associated Press.

http://community.babycenter.com/post/a10590415/health_care_on_indian_reservations "On some reservations, the oft-quoted refrain is "don't get sick after June," when the federal dollars run out. It's a sick joke, and a sad one, because it's sometimes true, especially on the poorest reservations where residents cannot afford health insurance."

HEADLINE: A terrible precedent in Indian health
"According to the Indian Health Service, American Indians suffer much higher death rates of most leading causes of death than the rest of the country. Death rates from tuberculosis, alcoholism, diabetes and suicide are dramatically higher than mortality rates of other Americans as well (750% , 550%, 190% and 70% respectively)."
"If the fact that the Indian Health Service operates under the umbrella of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is added into the equation, then the prospect of what our government-run health care system may become is frightening at best. "

"For over 200 years, the government has provided free health care to Native American reservations.However, just because the government has been obligated to provide Native Americans free health care doesn't mean that it's actually done well. HHS's Office of Minority Health lists grim statistics showing that Native American health fares poorer than the average American in cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, HIV, and infant mortality. "

"Native Americans, who supposedly have health care at Indian hospitals and government-run hospitals and clinics, do not think their service is adequate and do not think it's good."
