WASHINGTON, D.C. – With the $700 billion bailout for the financial markets a priority, Congress is unlikely to pass the Indian Health Care Improvement Act this session, writes Indian Country Today.

Native American leaders are bitter about that since the bill includes important provisions for improving Medicare coverage and children’s health.
