Even with having health insurance when they get through paying what they want, I still have huge medical bills i cannot pay. Why cant the medical field agree on getting a certain percentage of what the insurance companies pay and thats all they get. There are some state programs that work this way and I guess thats why many health care providers will not take the insurance. Its the health care industry making a fortune and the insurance companies. We have some of the best medical advances in the world with the biggest price tag. It pays them well for people to be sick.

Native Americans have the closest thing to socialized medicine in this country. Yet, they have the worst health care outcomes of any population. Why is this? It is in part because of an extremely critical shortage of professionals willing to work for less pay in remote areas. It is also in part due to the medical community's failure to address the real needs of the communities they are supposed to serve. Cultural differences create many barriers for some populations. Rather than trying to examine what forces are at work within this communities, they blame the people themselves for not properly assimilating into modern American society.
My experience of tribal healthcare plans is that they have guaranteed lifetime Blue Cross coverage with tiny co-pays. Maybe not all tribes handle it that well, but I for one would be happy to have tribal membership.
