100 Indian Tribes SOL due to Obamacare

[Peter1469]

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.

No problem:

They can certainly sue..., others have in the past. The Small Business Agency has a program to benefit Native Alaskan Firms which allows the Federal Government to sole source contract awards to Native Alaskan companies- the program was created after they sued the feds in court and won, based on treaty violations. The court told the government to come up with some sort of "reparations." Thus the creation of this program.

It has been greatly abused and Congress has passed some laws to tighten it up.

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?

you are the one being mean and snarky while pointing fingers as if you aren't, which must be a typical 'mean girl' tactic, i'm sure...

ravi was just being humorous as usual, which evidently is quite a challenging concept for a mean 'girl'? like you!

ps i AM a Christian.

It will be interesting, With all of the power being concentrated in the federal government, they may very well find out that they are not a Native American!

I wonder if they will have to remove their names from the petition of native Americans that want the Washington Redskins to Change their name?

Humor should be obvious. If I called someone a used coke$#@! it would only be funny if they were a nun. As for you and her:

This is one area of the law which I find "unusual" because they are "nations" but not nations, and so while some are treated like a foreign nation in some respects, others are treated almost like "mini states" or "sovereign cities".

Yes, it is a strange system.....

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

It's a question asking you if you bothered to read the article because it seemed as if you hadn't. Snark would be implying you cannot read.

You're welcome.

Well I will quote them: It's just the second, third and fourth coming of the same old cavalry.

Why were non-natives being covered under IHS to begin with?

If you are a 1/4 you can been seen as a Native American. Too many children were taken from them and placed into foster homes with others. Then you have some groups the government doesn't qualify such as the ones south east in NC.
