Type II Diabetes

(Ghodes, n.d.)
The Citizen Potawatomi Nation is 1 of 39 officially recognized Native American tribes in the U.S., with the reservation being located in Oklahoma. American Indians are not offered the same coverage as non-Native Americans under Obamacare because of the Indian Health Services program. However, for Potawatomis who live off the reservation, this is a disadvantage because they are not eligible for Obamacare and are not covered under the tribe’s healthcare program because the Indian Health Care Programs serve only those who live on the reservation (Nikan Curleyhead, personal communication, September 5, 2016).
