Communities Building Access Act expands local healthcare coverage by Angela Xu, Jul 13, 2008 (3:23am)

This bill would provide $45 million in federal grants to fund local solutions to the problem of uninsured Americans. To be eligible for the money, local communities must develop a plan based off one of two models: the Access Health program in Michigan, and the CareNet program in Ohio. Both of those programs were created by Catholic health services organizations, and those Catholic organizations remain strong supporters of HR 1683.
