Dear Honorable Congresswoman Bush,
I am a Public Health graduate scholar at Walden University, resident in Missouri 1st
congressional district and founder of Star Global Health Group (SGHG). SGHG is a nonprofit
health care provider dedicated to saving lives through clinical preventive services and early
detection screening and testing. I am writing to you to urge you to consider the need for clinical
preventive health coverage and an expansion of preventive health services as an addendum to
your federal Drug Policy Reform Act (DPRA) introduced on June 15, 2021.
SGHG is focus on providing screening, vaccinations, health education and early detection
to our community here in Saint Louis City and Saint Louis North County. As such, we want to
ensure that any health reform bill addresses our concerns on these vital points:
Protect insurance coverage for clinical preventive care under the Affordable Care Act.
Amidst the current COVID-19 the clinical preventive service under the Affordable Act needs to
be protected. Because insurance coverage is a key determinant of preventive health. We realize
that Congress is concerned with challenges of coronavirus, we have noticed here in our district
upsurge in alcohol misuse, bladder tumor among our elderly, and a decrease in vaccination for
HPV among our 7-18 years old. The Affordable Care Act grants are desperately needed in our
community health departments, those engaged in alcohol misuse programs, health education, and
cancer screening programs, especially in our underserved communities. Supporting this will save
lives and improve our economy.
We know that prevention saves lives and cost to the community. We look forward to
hearing from you and you support toward our effort to improve the Affordable Care Act and
its protections.
Sincerely,
Douglas Uchendu
Executive Director
