Community health centers do a great deal with limited resources. They provide critical medical care services to many who would otherwise have no other place to go or would end up in an emergency room.

Care shouldn't start in the emergency room.

My contention is that if we expand the patient-centered health care approach, we'll have less people that have to go the medical clinic that provides free service or go to the emergency room - they can have their own health care plan.

Each and every day health centers provide high-quality primary and preventive care to our constituents.

I mean, everybody should have access to medical care. And, you know, it shouldn't be such a big deal.

It got so bad I went into an emergency room. I didn't know which way was up.
