Marie Edwards' Medical Bills

The Talley-Walker Hospital in Marlow, Oklahoma, is appealing to Senator Dewey Bartlett for help in getting a bill paid. The hospital provided care to Marie Edwards, who has several chronic health conditions, but the Indian Health Service has refused to pay the bill. The hospital argues that the attending physician notified the Indian Hospital of the admission, but the Indian Hospital would not take responsibility for the patient. The charges for the one day stay were denied due to lack of funds.
