Description

This letter dated February 19, 1955, from Henry Lahaug to United States (US) Senator Langer, states the “Fort Berthold Indians are trying to set up a prepayment group insurance plan to cover their doctor and hospital bills.” The letter informs Langer that North Dakota Blue Cross offered coverage to the Fort Berthold Tribal Members at a reasonable cost and this coverage would be high quality. The letter states hospitals in North Dakota have recommended this type of insurance arrangement and that Fort Berthold Tribal Members will set up health plans where the US federal government pays a share of the insurance costs with the balance paid by tribal funds. The letter concludes by asking Langer for assistance in obtaining approval of this health plan.
