Short Abstract:
Dear Speaker Ryan:
On behalf of the National Indian Health Board, the National Congress of American Indians, and the National Council of Urban Indian Health, are writing to ask for your support for a long-term reauthorization of the Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI), which expires on March 31, 2018. It would be a tragedy for this highly effective and popular program to expire for the first time since its creation due to Congressional inaction. Therefore, we request that the Congressional leadership include a long-term SDPI reauthorization in the next moving legislative vehicle, including the February 2018 Continuing Resolution or budget agreement.
