1. Indian Health Service funding comes from the US government.

The idiots in Congress that gave us the sequester, they also cut the budget for health services to Indians, so why would it be surprising that these little facilities that serve very poor and rural communities are unable to meet the standard of care needed to maintain their accreditation. Add to that annual budget cuts coming out of the Republican controlled House that target services for the poor, for people of color, for services provided by Obamacare, hospitals like this are doomed.
