NOTHING the government does is done better than our private health care.
As a user of the Indian Health Services, you are wrong wrong wrong.
I know Indians from all over the Pine Ridge that are disgusted with government care - I went to school with the Learned kids (mom was tribal chief in Oklahome) that talked about how awful government care was. I went to school near Haskell and bad government care was always the acusation.

We have the best health care in the world, but its expensive.
Judging by ANY measure, we are about 25th or 26th in the world for quality health care delivery. Health care creates more than 50% of personal bankruptcies in this country. A greater percentage of our population does not have access to health care than ANY industrialized nation. Health care costs are one of the major costs for industry, and have been responsible for several major bankruptcies (Chrysler's, for one) which allowed them to break the contracts with health care plans for their retirees.
Riiiight, that's why all the new drugs have US patents - even if they are too unproven to be used here

See how that works when your wife develops breast or cervical cancer or you have a heart attack or one of your kids develop a long term treatment or is in a major accident or you hit 45 or 50 when the actuarial tables say your health will need more attention.
The group size insulates one from the aberration, if you buy insurane in a large group.
Why would you finance a pickup truck?
Looks like the literacy rate on the rez is as bad as they say - A literate person would see that I wrote that I wouldn't finance a pickup
