Indian Health Service needs reform

America's single-payer health system, The Indian Health Service, is in dire need of reform:
Inadequacies in coverage, care and facilities are so great that the Census Bureau's current population survey does not consider American Indian and Alaska Natives "covered" under IHS - more than a third of American Indian and Alaska Natives went without suitable coverage in 2004.

    The IHS is ONE OF America's single-payer systems. Others would include:

    Medicare
    Medicaid
    Military Health Care
    The VA
    Kaiser

    Of course none of these are actual "single payer" systems because there are several of them.

    And they all suck.
