Short Abstract:

Thank you for the work you and others have done on developing H.R. 3962. We appreciate your efforts to address the problems facing our nations health care system and move forward on the passage of real health care reform legislation that will provide Americans with quality, affordable health coverage and care.

The primary focus of the National Council of Urban Indian Health is advocating for the health and well-being of American Indians and Alaska Natives living in urban centers. We believe that health care reform is critical to ensuring all Indian people have access to affordable care and all medically necessary health care services. To that end we are delighted that the House has included H.R. 2708, the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, in H.R. 3962. We join the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), the National Indian Health Board (NIHB), and the National Steering Council (NSC) in their request for your continued support of Representative Pallones bill in H.R. 2708. Including IHCIA will ensure that national health care reform addresses the unique health care needs of Indian people. It has been 10 years since this important piece of legislation has been reauthorized. This is the best opportunity to pass this critical piece of legislation for Indian people and the only chance this Congress.
