The text is a letter from the Southern Cheyenne Research and Human Development Association discussing proposed changes to regulations governing who is eligible for services from the Indian Health Service. The letter expresses concerns about insufficient funding and resources for providing adequate healthcare to American Indians and Alaska Natives, and warns that increasing the patient load without additional funding will further decrease the quality of care. The letter urges the U.S. Government to fulfill its original mission of raising the health status of Indigenous peoples to the level of other Americans.
