WASHINGTON, March 28 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) announced legislation Thursday to extend and expand funding for community health centers and the National Health Service Corps.

If Congress doesn’t act by September 30th, community health centers will lose the federal funding they need to keep their doors open.

Community health centers provide high-quality primary medical, dental, mental health care, substance use disorder treatment, and low-cost prescription drugs to 28 million people in 11,000 communities in every state in the country. Sanders and Clyburn’s bill would allow 5.4 million more Americans to receive the primary care they need. Read More
