“Health care is not a legal right at birth, unless you’re a member of a federally recognized American Indian tribe. The U.S. government, which signed treaties promising health services in exchange for land and natural resources, provides health care to more than 1.5 million American Indians and Alaska Natives who belong to more than 557 federally recognized tribes in 35 states.”
