The Proposed Changes to Indian Health Services Eligibility Requirements

The text discusses the proposed changes to the eligibility requirements for the Indian Health Services (IHS), and how these changes would impact the ability of tribes to self-define who is an Indian. The author opposes the changes, and suggests that a more practical approach would be to base funding formulas on tribal census rolls and medical records of current patients receiving health services.
