Feds to pay millions for neglecting Native health
Anchorage, Alaska (AP)
The U.S. Indian Health Service will pay nearly $50 million in a settlement with Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta villages that didn’t get the federal funds they were due to cover health care costs. The settlement – $25 million, plus more than $23 million in interest – is believed to be the largest judgment ever against the agency, according to Lloyd Miller, an Anchorage attorney who has filed claims against the IHS on behalf of tribal organizations. Agency officials did not immediately return phones calls to The Associated Press seeking comment on the settlement approved by the U.S. Civilian Board of Contract Appeals. |
