Tribal Representatives and interested citizens are invited…

To participate in a listening session with a Member and staff of the Citizens’ Health Care Working Group, National Congress of American Indians and National Indian Health Board to hear from Tribal Representatives regarding health care and health care system issues and concerns from Indian country. Become a part of an important broad discussion taking place right now across the United States – where citizens are being asked their views, to be provided to the policymakers in Washington about what you like and don’t like about our nation’s health care system, and the choices our country should make to turn it into one that works for all Americans.

Your voice matters; your opinions will help form a citizens’ action plan that the President and Congress are required by law to consider as they work to make health care work for all Americans.

This is a chance for you...

to help shape national policy.

Please join us:

·Because as a Native American, Tribal Official, Tribal Representative, and citizen, you care about your health and that of your family, friends, neighbors, and community.

·Because as a consumer, you care about having access to effective and available care that’s high quality.

·Because as a citizen, you care about keeping the cost of care under control, and you want it delivered as efficiently and as waste-free as possible.

This is a discussion that can’t happen without you. Your voice does matter.
