U.S. considers American Indian health

The Senate passed the bill in an 83-10 vote, sending it to the U.S. House. It would spend $35 billion over 10 years.
“This is a big step forward for Indian health care, and the Senate can be proud of its action today,” Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee and author of the bill, said Tuesday in a statement.
“I have traveled around our country and seen the appalling conditions in many Indian health care facilities – even in North Dakota ,” Dorgan said. “People are literally dying because we have not acted. This bill is a first step that will help put an end to health care rationing and move the health care system in Indian Country in the right direction.”

Re: U.S. considers American Indian health

Yes....the world does watch how we treat our own...this Russion website is but one proof.

Thru our own efforts, we either shame or honor ourselves.

Yes, it is time for some change.

It is time to refocus our efforts on our Indian, on our poor, on our working class, and on our own.

My political speach is done....off my platform now.
