111-hconres-144 111 hconres 144 Recognizing the value, benefits, and importance of community health centers as health care homes for millions of people in the United States. Health 2009-06-04 2009-06-08 Referred to the Subcommittee on Health. House Rep. Capuano, Michael E. [D-MA-8] MA D C001037 95 Recognizes that: (1) the current payment mechanisms for Federally-Qualified Health Centers in Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP, formerly known as SCHIP), and Medicare are essential to assuring access to quality, affordable, primary, and preventive care servies; and (2) any expansion of private insurance must include mechanisms to ensure the full participation of, and appropriate reimbursement to, such Centers to ensure adequate access to care for the medically underserved and disenfranchised. Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) everyone should have the choice of a community health center as their health care home and every center should be appropriately reimbursed for the care it provides; and (2) health care reform should include measures to expand community health centers. 2023-01-11T13:18:56Z
