Dr. Donald Warne explains that Native Americans are the only U.S. group born with a legal right to health care. Historically, however, American Indian health care programs have been inadequately funded, especially compared with other federally subsidized health care.

This video is a Web-exclusive supplement to "Bad Sugar," Episode 4 of "UNNATURAL CAUSES: Is Inequality Making Us Sick?" This ground-breaking documentary series looks at how the social, economic and physical environments in which we are born, live, and work profoundly affect our longevity and health. The series broadcast nationally on PBS in spring 2008, and can be bought on DVD from California Newsreel, www.newsreel.org

  • I work like a dog and I can't afford healthcare.I'm not native but my European ancestors on both my mother and father's side have been here long before this was a USA. And we never owned slaves. The same RICH that put the natives on reservations are still screwin all us poor today.Only industrialized western country without universal healthcare,with a lower life expectancy than most. Shame! And no,i'm not putting much faith in Obama either.
