Supreme Court rules 5-4 in favor of Native American tribes, requiring federal government to cover overhead costs for health care programs.
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of Native American tribes, requiring the federal government to cover millions in overhead costs for two tribes that took over running their health care programs. The decision is "necessary to prevent a funding gap," according to Chief Justice John Roberts, and ensures tribes are not penalized for pursuing self-determination. This ruling affects tribes that run their own health care programs, which could cost between $800 million and $2 billion annually if reimbursed.
