Short Abstract:
The Senate bill is the most comprehensive in terms of what Indian Country was able to get in health reform. The tri-organizations (NCAI, NIHB, NCUIH) were successful in their advocacy for the key provisions Indian Country identified as major priorities. The chart below highlights only the major Indian specific provisions of the Senate HCR bill. These are provisions directly impacting urban Indian patients or urban Indian organizations. Highlighted sections are those provisions that were identified as priorities by Urban Indian Organizations. This chart does not include those provisions which have obvious impact on I/T/U providers (regulation of health insurance, closing the donut hole, etc) but only those provisions that directly reference Indian patients or Indian health providers.
