Your Obamacare Minute, Part 2


I know you are asking by now... what does Obamacare do for the Indians, anyway?  Well, there's a section for that...


Page 1698, under 


Division D - Indian Health Care Improvement
Title 1 - Amendments to Indian Laws
Title 1 - Indian Health, Human Resources, and Development
Sec. 115 Quentin N. Burdick American Indians Into Nursing Program


Which states, in part...



 (a) GRANTS AUTHORIZED. — For the purpose of increasing the number of nurses, nurse midwives, and nurse practitioners who deliver health care services to Indians, the Secretary, acting through the Service, shall provide grants to the following:
  (1) Public or private schools of nursing.
  (2) Tribal colleges or universities.
  (3) Nurse midwife programs and advanced practice nurse programs that are provided by any tribal college or university accredited nursing program, or in the absence of such, any other public or private institutions.

John Conyers was right, its way too hard to read this bill.
