So, how did we get here? Well, it's a long story, but we'll try to keep it brief (no pun intended). Essentially, the US government has a trust responsibility to provide healthcare to Native Americans, but this responsibility has been grossly underfunded over the years. As a result, many Native Americans have been left without access to quality healthcare, let alone insurance.
But, there's hope on the horizon! The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has made it easier for Native Americans to access health insurance, and many tribes are now offering their own tribal health insurance plans. These plans often have lower premiums and better coverage than traditional health insurance plans, which is a major win for Native American communities.
