How Government-Run Health Care Failed For Native Americans
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июн 2021
- American Indians and Alaska Natives are entitled to federally-funded health care under treaties negotiated between tribal nations and the U.S. government. The independent and bipartisan Commission on Civil Rights wrote in a 2018 report that the U.S. government has not adequately funded these programs. The report concluded the lack of funding has left many indigenous communities without the ability to provide quality care. Here’s how government-funded health services for Indigenous Americans works in the United States and how many activists and experts would like to see the system reformed.
UPDATE (July 1, 2021) In an emailed statement sent to CNBC after publication, the Indian Health Service said it had “received historic investments of more than 9 billion dollars” since the start of the pandemic “to address long-standing health inequities experienced by American Indians and Alaska Natives by ensuring a comprehensive public health response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.”

U.S. Government: we're sorry.
NA: okay now what are we going to do about it?
U.S. Government: ...we said we're sorry.
US: Vote for next warmonger in the country.
*Repeats wars*
US: it is not our fault.
Can you stop calling them Indians? They are native Americans , just because someone called them Indians by mistake doesn't mean they are Indians
many prefer to be called indians. America is named after a white man. The truth is there was not a word to refer to themselves besides there own tribe
Notice how that graph of covid by race also directly correlates to obesity by race?
And your point is?
quite true actually
Correct. Eat less workout more
@@oliviao2238 best way to beat COVID or most diseases is the be healthy and Going outside
@@conductingintomfoolery9163 Covid is not a disease; it's a virus; sometimes, I think I'm literally in an MTV music video flashback. Being healthy is a huge part. Going outside is always recommended for general health.
I grew up in IHS. When I was 14 I tore my acl. It took 10 months to see an orthopedic surgeon for an initial consultation, and another 14 months to have surgery I spent 2 years on crutches, I missed out on so much, because money was more important
Real Americans!
How about a new segment called “How government fails at everything!”?
They do manage my mail pretty well.
@@linusmlgtips2123 lol, USPS is one of the worst postal services in the world
Private companies litarally go bankrupt all the time, that's failing pretty hard...
@@fgsaramago Public opinion is overwhelmingly against you.
@@linusmlgtips2123 I know, I run a shipping business and Americans are totally oblivious to how much their postal system sucks. It competes with Mexico for slowest, it's a joke, packages that usually take a week to arrive can take up to 2 months to the US.
It makes a broader point as to how much Americans are totally clueless about things outside their country, hence have no comparison points, resulting in very weird and distorted views on several issues.
It's the the government's lack of funding and support, not "the government" exclusively.
What’s the difference?
It was never intended to work for them.
Right, you intended to steal they land and exploit it.
@@XOPOIIIO and thank god they did
If the natives kept it it would be a third world
Crap hole with cannibalism
More money does not mean better outcomes.
Government programs never have enough money and swallow all the funds given
Lots of corruption in tribal systems which is why some indigenous/natives don't have access to running water (as referenced in the video). Any talk of integration or involving non-Natives to help solve problems gets shuts down immediately and branded as 'culturally insensitive' or 'genocidal.'
its funny the US government kinda messed with a lot of people...
and... sometimes I feel like they get away with it pretty easily o_o
its just propaganda...
Warcrimes.....
1/390 is about the same as US average
Hope everything ok for everybody ka

Has the US Government ever done right by Native Americans?
They were concurred… the loser of a war doesn’t get special treatment. We should have given them 0 land and integrated them into the winners society.
Wow.
@@cybertrk I hope this mentality is exposed to the world, when you try to lecture everyone else.
@@cybertrk agreed! They would’ve been better off
Worked 4 yrs in IHS clinics as Healthcare provider. Horrendous experience. IHS clinics suffer from their own corruption. Staff and patients suffer due to evil management and greedy board members. Literally native patients are pushed aside in the schedule to make insurance money (government gives extra reimbursement to tribal clinics) from non native patients. As an employee you lose your rights, lose your job security and will be taken advantage of. There's no dignity, compassion nor fairness, just nepotism and back stabbing.
I worked at a VA hospital for 11 years and I had the same experience.
Non American here- why is the word Indian used interchangeably with Native and Indigenous?
Seriously? Thats what the natives were called when contact was first made with them when the europeans arrived. The mistake just stuck
plenty of word of identities are just stupid and non-sense, including words like europeans, africans, asians, indians, americans.. and so on
for example:
-Europe is the name of an ancient Greek or Phoenician goddess, and today people are called "Europeans" which may mean worshippers of an unknown ancient goddess to them?
-Africa was the name of a small region in modern North Africa, and today it's the name of a whole continent which most of it had no relation to that "Africa".. same thing for Asia which was more like the name of modern Anatolia or regions in modern Balkan or modern Europe, yet the word Asian today mean mainly people from China or Japan or Korea, despite not having any relation to that name in its real origins
-India is just a name after a river, it wasn't a name of people with specific identity
-America is just the name of an Italian person, so basically when you say "i'm American" in its real meaning it's "i'm related to some random Italian person that may existed in the 16th century"
see how all those names are mostly non-sense or doesn't represent at all the reality? so basically you shouldn't give a lot of importance to people naming native "Americans" as "Indians"
@just_be: When Columbus first arrived in what would later be known as the Americas, he thought he had reached India, so he believed the native population he encountered to be Indians. I have no idea, other than plain laziness, as to why it's still in use in the US today.

How much of this also comes down to the Native American system themselves?
The want the governments money. But they want to create their own laws, and not follow fereral or state law.
But shouldn´t it be easy to give them at least close to the same funding as what the medicare program gets per person? I mean the medicare program is even able to save because of the huge amount of people it covers. The deals they get are just way better. The natives still get around 1/4 of the amount of funding per person though. Thats just inherently wrong. Or did I misunderstand parts of the video?
@@einfachnurleo7099 They get less money, because their are less than 1% of the population.
They don't have to go to a native american doctor.
They can go to any doctor, as long as they take your insurance.
@@saulgoodman2018 less per person than others with medicate if I understand correctly. I don't know if they have the option to take normal insurance but I don't see the problem either of letting them have their own providers and giving them about the average per person as a normal american with medicate. Again per person! The video said they get 2800$ per year per native whilst medicate takes 10000$ per year per person. They'd probably be more than happy 9000$ as they seem to be able to make way more out of that money. But forming a contract promising them free healthcare and than spending around a quarter per person compared to the average doesn't seem fair or right.
@@einfachnurleo7099 CNBC does not tell the who truth. They tell half truths.
They're in the US, they have the option of buying their own insurance if they want to.
@@einfachnurleo7099 Per ihs website; The Indian Health Service is funded each year through appropriations by the U.S. Congress. The Indian Health Service is not an entitlement program, such as Medicare or Medicaid. The Indian Health Service is not an insurance program. The Indian Health Service is not an established benefits package.
They can also sign up for medicaid or private insurance.
It’s crazy how many Europeans I see come to my state to get surgeries faster
It’s not crazy. They have the money to go to the front of the line. Just like people who buy first class airline tickets have shorter lines at checkin.
Still want “free” health care from the government?
0:46 The CDC is not responsible for the water system . why would you ask such a dumb question
Aha, yea, I wanted to cut it right there, but I'm still watching despite the clickbait title. I don't really think she's blaming the CDC though. She may have said a lot more but only had this snippet added. Her words could've been part of a larger context and the "you" in reference to an entity larger than the CDC itself.
Government management needs to be reformed, no corporate interest/ self interest should exist in the governing and management of public initiatives. Citizens fund the government and the government properly allocates these funds for the citizens. Currently at least 75% of government funds are channeled to private corporate pockets as wasteful spending.
Government can't do a lot of things right, unfortunately. There's got to be another way to get everyone equal access to healthcare.
❤️
Crazy but not surprising (same old crap).
This is why you don’t rely on government duh
It would fail for anyone.
Except for the rest of the industralized world.
but making coronavirus paid off and passed with flying colours
@jbl that you made coronavirus
@jbl you mean you are not good at other sciences except biology,bio chemistry,and virology?
Kashmiri are taking government officer jobs in Jammu region and trying to change demography by making anti Jammu or Hindu executive laws. Central Govenment along with Kashmir government had given affidavit in Supreme Court that because from seventy years Muslims are taking benefits of minority and it is a sensitive state so it does not want to change or disturb benefits to Muslims as minority. This minority status is powerful because India has signed UN Charter that gives right to all other countries to interfere in sovereign matters if minority rights are hampered. This is why they publish two three fake news in newspapers every week and go to UN to prove India is destroying minorities and actual minority is Jammu people that are suffering badly. Central government has also helped them because brother of Altaf Bukhari works in PMO. It is very necessary to make Jammu a state because Pakistan thinks it has converted Kashmir into Islamic state and they need Jammu as launchpad for North India. North India is cradle for Sanatan Dharm and if it gets converted our dharm will die. ☹

Why tf are we still helping natives they never wanted our help in the first place?
So we can make them dependent and take advantage of them with our greed.
We just need to completely replace the garbage healthcare system in this country and join the rest of the civilized world with UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
So we could all have the same quality of health care as native Americans?
Free health care from the government is crap.
@@Noumenon4Idolatry I said we need to join the rest of the civilized world. This is not a civilized country.
They should learn something from their Northern Neighbours... Just sayin..
How about the government just not get involved in healthcare?
How about capitalists don't get involved in a necessary service?
@@linusmlgtips2123 how about you not using products made because of capatalism.
@@Deathwish_99 how about....we are allowed to criticize things despite living in the system we criticize?
@@linusmlgtips2123 Ok,Fair enough.😁 no hard feelings.
Maybe they should stop living in super remote areas and live really far apart from each other. Take away their reservations and treat them like any other americans.
@health_fitness_life2021

Yeah no surprise there. And please use the term Native Americans to stop propagating misnomers.

Says a racist who is so proud of his slow-witted, illegal European ancestors for stealing this land from the indigenous people.
Here’s an idea…instead of relying on the government to run your life take accountability for your own failures. Imagine being a 40yr old relying on mommy and daddy to tell you what to do, when to eat, when to go to the doctor…
@Pinned By CNBC
Kick rocks fake news pros
Of course it did should have voted for trump
Govt: “He’s a free service paid for by hard working tax payers”
Ungrateful human: “not good enough”
Very naive comment that lacks basic reasonable understanding.
Commented before you even watched the video also.
And I bet you're a "US citizen" typing this from land stolen from indigenous people. Just trash.
How about a new segment called “How government fails at everything!”?
