Short Abstract:
Dear Chairman Alexander and Ranking Member Murray:
On behalf of the National Council of Urban Indian Health (NCUIH), which represents over forty urban Indian health care programs (UIHPs) across the nation which provide high-quality, culturally-competent care to urban Indians, who constitute more than 70% of the nation’s American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) people, I urge the Health, Education, Workforce, and Pensions (HELP) Committee to expeditiously mark up and promote passage of legislation to reauthorize the Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI)--particularly S. 747, a bill introduced by Senator Tom Udall (D-NM), which would extend the program for 7 years through 2024, at no increase in cost other than taking into account health care inflation.
