They directed a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., highlighting issues related to bureaucratic hurdles under the new PAA-DER policy.

The lawmakers stated that this policy has led to delays in essential services, including ultrasounds, and has negatively impacted patient care and operational efficiency at the center. They called for immediate action to restore services and ensure that tribal communities receive the same standard of care as other Americans.
