In honor of Native American Heritage Month, here are 3 quick ways Obamacare is helping Indian Country:
- Permanently Reauthorizes the Indian Healthcare Improvement Act. - Expanded IHS services, including mental and behavior health treatment and prevention, long-term care services, dialysis services and more. - Increasing clinician recruitment and retention in Tribal operated health programs and encouraging health professionals to join or continue in an Indian health program and to provide services in rural/remote areas.
