in Palin And Alaska Native Women on The Washington Independent
I know that Indian Health care is bad compared to mainstream healthcare. I live in the Phoenix area near the Phoenix Indian Medical Center so it is not a long trip to the hospital. However, services are lacking but not as a lacking as described in this article. I have said over and over again...Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton. Palin is a big joke, a cruel witch of the north...pay for a rape kit??? She cannot be our next VP!

in Palin Family Could Apply for Free Federal Health Care on The Washington Independent
A big Giant YEAH! The IHS in Phoenix is a big bureaucracy. The halls smells, the TV's are so old the people on the screens are "green". We wait for hours and hours for medical care not matter how sick we are. And then we have to deal with impolite staff and doctors who don't know what they are doing---like almost doing an internal procedure on me when my INR was above 5.0 (This means bleeding to death!!!! duh).

I would be appalled to find out that the Palins use the Indian Health Service with the income they have. So many Native people are in dire need of medical care and do not have private insurance to treat their medical needs. Todd Palin is 1/8 Yup'ik plus more Native? So, he and his children could qualify for IHS even though he has an outrageous income compared to other Native people. Shame on the Palins for abusing the IHS if they have used, abused the IHS system!
