What's Covered
Why is health insurance important for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs)? Whether someone is suffering from a long-term illness, wants to prevent illness, or has to seek emergency care, health insurance can help keep focus on the person in need, rather than on the cost of the services needed. With the resources on this page, find out what is covered, what is considered preventive care, and what benefits are available specifically for AI/ANs.
PSAs, Ads, and Radio Spots
Public service announcements (PSAs) and radio spots provide more information on the ACA and how it benefits tribal communities. PSAs and radio spots are available in English and 10 Native languages on the Outreach & Education Native Language PSA Archive.
