Bureaucrats Seek Pay Raises Over Indian Hospital Funds
In Washington officials at the Office of Management and Budget and the Health and Human Services Department press to redirect $11.6 million of Indian health facility funds to salary increases for Indian Health Service staff, risking the loss or delay of five hospital projects and endangering care for 9,500 Native Americans on the Gila River Reservation and 8,000 Sioux at Rosebud.
