Byron Dorgan: “But, if the merger----”

Senator Byron Dorgan's 68-page Report of 2010 addressing the critical conditions of all the Great Plain's Regional IHS was brought to the attention of McSwain.

Although histories, cultures, and languages may be diverse, one theme was always consistent--the challenges of accessing healthcare and life-saving services.

The fundamental problem found in the Dorgan report in 2010 and the findings now before the House is IHS, LEADERSHIP was failing then as it is failing now.

It is a travesty! Further, it is a problem that will continue to have negative impacts for generations to come.
