The Lumbee Tribe of N.C. wants better healthcare, but plans to fund it are in limbo

Tribal leaders say federal recognition and Indian Health Service access will not cover the county’s $247 million health gap.

Summary by Npr
Robeson County, N.C., where most of the Lumbee Tribe's citizens live, ranks as one of the worst counties in the U.S. for health. The tribe can access the Indian Health Service now, but it's not likely to be sufficient to improve the health of the community.
