Abstract:

On behalf of the National Council of Urban Indian Health (NCUIH), I am writing to ask for your assistance in overcoming some last-minute concerns raised by Senator Enzi that have the potential to block the passage of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (S. 1200).  We believe that the Senator's concerns are largely based on misinformation and ask that you write the Senator in support of the bill as it is written without further damaging amendments.  By standing together, Indian Country has greatly advanced this critical legislation.  We urge you to stand with the urban Indian health programs, which provide services to your tribal members when they are in the cities we serve, so that those who would divide us and seek to kill this vital legislation are finally defeated themselves.
