Effective as if included in the enactment of the Medicare Access and
CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-10, 129 Stat. 87),

Now the Republicans are getting into Medicare Access and CHIP reauthorization.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS...
Here it is.
EC. 221. EXTENSION OF FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, THE
NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE CORPS, AND TEACHING HEALTH CENTERS.
(a) Funding for Community Health Centers and the National Health Service
Corps, --
(1) Community health centers, -- Section 10503(b)(1)(E) of the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. 254b-2(b)(1)(E)
is amended by striking "for fiscal year 2015" and inserting "for each
of fiscal years 2015 through 2017". ", and an additional $422,000,000
for fiscal year 2017".
Section 102 of the American Health Care Act adds $422 million to cover fiscal
year 2017 for costs incurred by the ACA. I am curious where these numbers
come from and why. See, I am skeptical as to where all the rescinded funding
has gone, including the taxes which I assume will be addressed later.

A little-discussed side effect (click here) of the ObamaCare repeal effort could be losing gains that community health centers — a lifeline for the nation’s most vulnerable — have made.
Republicans’ vow to gut President Obama’s signature domestic achievement
has thrust all facets of the health system into uncertainty — and community
health centers are no different. Nearly 25 million people receive care through
the nonprofit groups, and in interviews, nearly a dozen state community
health associations expressed concerns over whether advances under the
law would be reversed.
“Talking points are wonderful, but we live in a reality here that talking points
don't help,” Alan Pruhs, executive director of the Association for Utah
Community Health, told The Hill Extra. “So we're really going to be vigilant
and watching what the replacement strategies look like and how that's going
to affect the populations that we’re focused on serving.”...
The next section of The American Health Care Act is Section 103. Federal
payments to states. It is an exceptionally long section, so it will be covered
tomorrow.
Thank you for your interest.
