Blackfeet Nation is following the lead of the Navajo Nation and is working to protect its people from an Arizona Medicaid scheme targeting vulnerable Native Americans with AHCCCS benefits looking to get sober.
Navajo Nation Attorney General Ethel Branch said in June that the tribe’s law enforcement teams over the course of several weeks made contact with more than 270 Native Americans released onto the streets of Phoenix by sober living homes that have been targeted by a state crackdown on fraudulent billing.
"The Blackfeet Tribal Business Council hereby declares a Public Health State of Emergency for the Black Feet Tribal Members affected by the humanitarian crises arising from shuttered fraudulent behavioral health treatment facilities in Arizona," the official announcement read. Laura McGee, his sister, says he didn’t stay long at the facility and ended up on the streets of Phoenix while someone had his phone.
