(c) Obligations of the United States. The Indian Health Service may not bill or charge Indians who have the economic means to pay for services, and may not require a tribe to do so.
Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to limit or reduce in any way the funding for any program, project, or activity serving an Indian tribe* under this or other applicable Federal law.
