Hello Haida:
I was in your beautiful Alaska last year. I am dying to come back!! It is so very beautiful! Hopefully before I go again I will have had a chance to visit with you more and to find a friend when I come again, which will hopefully be next July.

I am registered with Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. I just joined this DU group today. I have a major issue I was hoping to find help from other Native Americans with and happened upon your post. I meant what I said above. I would love a friend in Alaska.

I don't know the proper protacal but hope all Native Americans on this site will help me and other members of tribes living in Florida not Seminole. They won't let me post my own thread here being new. As of 7-1-12, the Seminole Tribe of Florida will no longer treat Native Americans outside of their own tribe for chronic conditions. Diabetes is a chronic condition we as Native Americans all are prone to. They are leaving the rest of us in the cold.
Their fax Connie Whidden Health Director 954-985-8456 address 3006 Josie Billie Ave. Hollywood, Fl. 33024

Again, forgive me if I trespassed a bit on your thread. But I am in tears, I need my fellow Native Americans help. I relied on all my medical through the Seminole clinic. I live in Florida, I can't go home to my Choctaw Tribe in Oklahoma to receive care. I am no longer insurable because of diabetes. The govt uninsurable plan too expensive $370.00 per month for one person. Usually it is the govt. that has hurt the Indian, this time it is a Indian Group. This new condition will affect all tribal members living in Florida, not Seminole
