Abstract

Indian Health Service (IHS), a component of the Health Service Administration, Public Health Service, is the principal provider of medical care and public health services to nearly one-half million American Indians and Alaska Natives. In the fiscal year 1975, Congress appropriated some $230 million for IHS personal health services, an amount believed to fall short of need by $70 million. The objective is to close this gap with alternative funding, such as Medicare and Medicaid.
