Medicaid Cuts Could Cost Native Americans Health Insurance

As we’ve heard this morning, the new plan in the Senate is to try for a straight-up repeal of the Affordable Care Act, after it became clear there were not enough votes for its bill to replace it.

Either change, though, would have a significant impact on Native Americans, according to new research from Georgetown University.

With me to talk about it is Joan Alker, a research professor in the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown.
