The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled that the federal government must reimburse two Native American tribes for millions of dollars in administrative healthcare costs. The tribes faced overhead costs when taking control of their health care programs under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. This decision requires the government to pay potentially hundreds of millions more going forward. The ruling is a win for the San Carlos Apache in Arizona and Northern Arapaho in Wyoming. Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Gorsuch supported the tribes' exemption from federal health care oversight. The decision was against the Biden administration's approach to allocating funds for tribal health care.
