Things to ponder over coffee: ::> medcitynews/2013/10/native-americans-exempt-insurance-mandate-benefit-marketplace-plans/ ----obviously we cannot opt out of our current insurance since, though health care is worded as free and provided, Native Americans must deal with this inconvenient and unnecessary assortment of facts: Although tribal members are entitled to free health care, most Indian health facilities do not offer a full array of services. When patients need major surgery or cancer treatments, for example, they are referred to specialists outside of Indian lands. At least two-thirds of those referral claims are rejected, Bly said. That puts Indians at risk of either paying major medical bills themselves or doing without needed treatments. In addition, about half of Native Americans live in urban areas that are great distances from tribal health facilities.
