The federal government, as part of its cutbacks, has taken away the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian Health Services clinic monies used to pay the costs of treating American Indian (non=Seminoles) with chronic diseases aS OF jULY 1. There is no oppression on the part of the Seminole tribe. The Feds have removed the funding that supports that program. In fact, there are penalties in place that would prevent any circumventing of the order. It has resulted in many Indians leaving and returning to their own reservartion lands where they can be treated. Your acrimony is misplaced, brzysunset
