Short Abstract:

Thanking the House of Representatives for Restoring Urban Indian Health Line Item and Urging Support for Reauthorization of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, H.R. 1328

Dear Representative,

On behalf of the 36 urban Indian health clinics serving over 150,000 Native American patients annually, I am writing to thank you for the restoration of the Urban Indian Health Line item in the Indian Health Services budget. I am also writing to request your support for H.R. 1328, the Indian Health Care Improvement Act Amendments of 2007 (IHCIA), which would modernize and reauthorize the programs of the Indian Health Service.  The nonprofit Urban Indian Health Programs leverage, by an outstanding 2:1 margin, the resources Congress invests in addressing the health status of urban Indians, creating a vital link in the overall IHS system while providing culturally appropriate, high-quality health care.
