Short Abstract:
I write to express my deep concern over the zeroing out of the Urban Indian Health Program in the Presidents FY 2009 Budget. This is the third year in a row that the Administration has attempted to end this small but vital program. Standing in solidarity with our Urban Indian Health Program partners, we once again come to Congress to ask that you protect these programs. We understand that the Administration is, for the third year, claiming that the Urban Indian Health Programs are duplicitous with other health programs, notably the Community Health Centers and local health programs. This assertion was proven incorrect during the debate over both the FY 2007 and FY 2008 budgets. Furthermore, the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) has provided both testimony refuting the Administrations claim and letters in support of the Urban Indian Health Program.
