Short Abstract:

As the administration considers changes to the Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP with the goal of maintaining financial stability, it is important that the government upholds its responsibility to honor the unique health care obligations that it has to Tribes and Indian People. This document outlines slightly revised principles for Indian Health program delivery that were established in previous health care reform activities and adopted by the consensus of all tribes.
