Increased Funding for Community Health Centers
The President believes that access to primary and preventive health care services is critical, especially in poor, medically underserved communities. Since taking office, the President has worked to expand the number and reach of Community Health Centers. Community Health Centers play a central role in meeting this need and making health care available to low-income Americans. The centers provide primary and preventive health services to individuals regardless of their ability to pay. They are located in medically underserved urban and rural areas where there often is little access to basic health care services, and these centers primarily serve low-income individuals, migrant farm workers, the homeless, and children.
Action: Expanding Community Health Center capacity. President Bush recognized the needs of the medically underserved, and his Administration has funded more than 800 new or expanded centers and will fund approximately 400 more in the next two years. This has already allowed community health centers to build capacity to serve more than 3.5 million additional Americans, with nearly 2 million more to be served in the next two years.
Ensuring the Poorest Communities Have Better Access to CaRE. It is vital to enhance medical care in poor communities, where access to regular care is often hardest to come by and where basic primary and preventive services can do an enormous amount to raise standards of living and well being.
Action: Establishing Community Health Centers in poor counties. To make sure access to health care is available where it is most needed, the President has set out to establish a Community Health Center or rural clinic in every high-poverty county in America that can support one. The PresidentÂs FY 2007 budget proposes to establish 80 such centers or clinics in poor counties not now served.
