Byron Dorgan: “Clinician shortages are rampant. Significant health disparities permeate Indian Country.”

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.

The agency promised changes, but the situation has only disintegrated since.

I just want to say that I am concerned about the court's decision in Carcieri and the impact it may have on those tribes that were recognized after 1934.

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