100 Indian Tribes SOL due to Obamacare

[junie]

i think it's all a big conspiracy to get all of us to go back to church!



It’s Christians Helping Christians---and It Works!

Learn how Christians are EXEMPT from the mandates in the Healthcare Reform Law.

I did some research on this and they are those tribes which we did not first declare war on officially and then sign a treaty with as a government, ie states have their own treaties with the "indian" nation.

I am surprised that the Federal government let the states enter into their own treaties. Oh well, those non-federal tribes may have to also look into the States as potential defendants, depending on what the treaties provide.

So I can claim to be a Native American and go to the IHS and get free health care. Sweet!

No, there are 100 tribes which are state recognized and not federal. Previously if you were a member of that tribe you still received health care.

Actually, nevermind, this was for Peter not you. Keep on with the snarking. You seem to think this thread is something it is not and are being disagreeable to be disagreeable.

Fine, be Senator Warren all you want. Go apply. Whatever floats your boat.

Thanks @Peter1469 for the opinion.

LOL! That sounds like a scam though maybe it's just the way they wrote their web page. And how un-Christian of them not to treat alcohol or drub abuse.

I am, as well, but I will assume it is because we never recognized them as "nations".

Does this have anything to do with the legal aspects of treaties? Or is this another chance for Ravi and the Mean Girls to snark Christians?

No, Ravi just says stupid things and then goes into defense mode. Why not just think before you post?

How was my question snark? WHY would the IHS, a federal program, provide health care to people that the federal government doesn't recognize as Native Americans? You can't even see the potential for abuse here, can you?

Right.

[Ravi]

And previously they were given free health care by state governments that did recognize them and now they will not. Did you not bother to read? Wait. NVM.

btw, this post of yours is where the snark began. You began it, not I. You're welcome.
