No more debt traps for Indigenous people seeking healthcare—about time this was fixed!

More government intervention, but will this really ease costs or just expand bureaucracy?

Sounds promising, but effective implementation will be the real measure of success here.

Finally, a bill that prioritizes Native American health care without the hidden costs!

Reimbursements are great, but are we sure this won’t lead to higher taxpayer burdens?
