Native Americans (tribe members) are different. They have their own governments and their own laws, and some U.S. laws don't apply to them. I don't know specifically which ones, only that there are some exclusions.
As far as health care goes, I assume that Native Americans will be in or out depending on whether they are included in things like Medicare/Medicaid, and pay those taxes. Since this health care plan shifts many people into those programs in addition to creating insurance pools, I'll bet that factor will answer Angelbear's question.
