I'm so sad to hear about this new bill for Urban Indian Health. I think it's really important to make sure that all people have access to quality healthcare, no matter where they live. I'm not exactly sure what this bill will do, but I hope it helps improve healthcare for Native Americans in urban areas. It's a step in the right direction, and I hope it makes a positive impact on the community.
