Native American healthcare at Ft. Berthold : from the Indian Health Service to private and alternative sources of healthcare

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the current status of healthcare delivery on American Indian reservations. In particular, the study sought to determine if the Indian Health Service was actually meeting its goals in delivering healthcare to American Indians, and if not, were there alternatives to public medicine for healthcare? The Indian Health Service has not met its own goals in delivering healthcare, and private medicine in the form of private practicing physicians and other medical personnel have filled the void left by the Indian Health Service. The study also discusses the possibility of private medicine being the only realistic alternative in the future for Indian healthcare delivery.
