Robert Smith: “H.R. 4250 moves us in the right direction. One of the ways it does…”

On the recordJuly 24, 1998

H.R. 4250 moves us in the right direction. One of the ways it does this is by allowing community health centers to establish community health organizations. These would be health plans sponsored by health centers and the doctors themselves to give people the extra choice in their health care. I used to serve on one of these boards and I recently visited these facilities in Michigan. Patients get first-class treatment and these centers do a great job, and this bill will increase the chance that these small hospitals can survive by allowing them to have the community health organizations. These provisions are going to help create the competition needed to make more regulation from Washington, D.C. unnecessary. Support this bill.
