I read this story in the Washington Post about the sorry state of American Indian health care on the reservations. According to a 1787 treaty with the government, American Indians on reservations should be provided free health care. Big surprise, the government is not following through. There are some pretty sad stories detailed in this article about the lack of care on the reserves. I really hope that Obama keeps his promise to these tribal communities and does something about it!!
