I am an Alaskan Native living outside of my home state of Alaska. The author states That Todd Palin and his children are eligible for o federally funded comprehensive health care. Sorry to quibble with you, but I believe one has to be 1/4 or more native blood to qualify for that subsidized health care. Todd is 1/8th Yu'pik.
Also, I have read that Governor Palin has been too busy to meet with or address native concerns and issues. She has not demonstrated a real regard and interest for her so-called regular folks, dontcha know?
