“The Indian Health Service which is funded by this bill, is the agency charged with providing health care services to Native American people. We in this body must work to ensure that the Indian Health Service is meeting the needs of all Native Americans. My State is home to 22 Indian tribes, all of which are served by the Phoenix area office of the IHS. That same office also provides health services to the Indians of Arizona and Utah, except for the Navajo Nation. Am I correct that this year's appropriations bill contains $8 million in funding for the construction of one of the ambulatory care clinics in the Phoenix area of the IHS?”
