Short Abstract:
We are moving toward the end of a frustrating, contentious, and ultimately disappointing second session of the 110th Congress. Although Congress, at the time of writing this review, intends to come back into session for a lame-duck period on November 17th after the elections, the likelihood of Congress passing any substantive legislation besides the much discussed second stimulus package is very slim. This means a number of Indian Countrys top legislative priorities remain unfinished, including the reauthorization of Indian Health Care Improvement Act. The second session of the 110th Congress is not without its bright spots. Congress reauthorized the Special Diabetes Program for Indians and reauthorized the Community Health Centers Act. However, those bright spots were few and far between due to a number of issues.
