Argus Leader: Gov. Dennis Daugaard wants congressional delegates to keep Native Americans in mind as they work to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
He's asking the state's delegates to solidify or expand a policy that could save the state millions in Native American health care costs.

And that came out to about $85 million last year, Daugaard said.
