![["The Talihina Indian Hospital in LeFlore County, Oklahoma, has been affected by budget cuts resulting in the loss of 23 employee positions. The cuts are part of a nationwide problem in Indian health services due to increased retirement deductions for civil service workers.

Congressman Page Belcher has the best economy record among Oklahoma's House members, supporting 74% of economy moves.
