Health centers that serve 1.3 million low-income Texans urge Congress to renew federal funding
“Advocates urged Congress on Wednesday to reauthorize funding for community health centers, saying nearly 200,000 Texans could lose access to health care. The centers provide health services — including dental and behavioral — for more than 24 million low-income patients nationwide and 1.3 million in Texas, regardless of their insurance status. Patients typically pay what they can on a sliding scale.”
