I have worked in social services here in Anchorage at Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC). The tragedies experienced in the Bush have broken my heart over and over.
Palin brags about our state surplus. Why are there still no services for these people in their own communities?
Why are the Anchorage politicians/school board members begging for help because people are pouring into Anchorage?
ANMC is stretched thin and there is no health care for them in the Bush. There are not enough beds for the homeless. There are hundreds turned away who need detox beds. API dumps people on the streets who need mental health care.
Native teens kill themselves or are raped and there are very limited services to offer them or their families.
