"I have worked closely with AAPI on a range of issues, most recently in drafting the Healthcare Consumer Protection Act (HCCPA), I am very impressed with AAPI's leadership on behalf of the health policy reforms. Many AAPI physicians practice in under served or urban areas. These rank and file doctors, on the front lines of healthcare delivery, are playing a big role in developing the solutions to our healthcare delivery problems. I am proud to join with the leaders of an organization representing thousands of healthcare providers in supporting meaningful healthcare reform." |

"To me the growth of this organization is a testament to the Indian American Community itself. Its extraordinary civic commitment, its abiding sense of responsibility, and its dedication to helping all Americans by providing the very best medical care. That may be why I'm so proud to fight for the needs of America's 1.3 million strong Indian community because for all your special contributions, for all your cultural richness, for all the unique things you contribute to this country, especially in medicine. Your values and commitment are the very best definition of what it means to be an American." |
