Short Abstract:
Introduction: On behalf of the National Council of Urban Indian Health (NCUIH), our 36 member clinics, and the 150,000 American Indian/Alaska Native patients that we serve annually, I would like to thank the House Committee on Natural Resources for this opportunity to testify on the Indian Health Care Improvement Act Amendments of 2009. NCUIH strongly supports the quick reauthorization of this critical piece of legislation as it is desperately needed to modernize and support the Indian health delivery system. As the debate around national health care reform sweeps through Congress, it is important that the needs of Indian people are remembered and addressed. I would like to thank Representative Pallone for introducing the Indian Health Care Improvement Act in this new Congress. I would also like to thank Representative Rahall for moving quickly ahead on this important legislation. It is my hope that in this new Congress that we can move forward on the critical issues facing the I/T/U system.
