What most Alaskans do not understand is free, is really not free.  The state pays under tax and everyone that pays state taxes eventually.  Native or not what this boils down to is the affordable health care act under state law, or federal law applies to both.  One can go under a so called "free system" and yet they are put under another system.   One tries to apply for health insurance in the near future even as a native with so called "free health care", now has penalties in cost.
