Now the Federal Government is already involved. and it certainly has an important role to play. in the providing of health care to the poor who do not have the ability to provide it for themselves. The Federal Government is engaged in the operation of over 100 neighborhood health centers. The Federal Government provides help for the migrant workers. and this Congress has extended this program for 3 more years with the hope that it will become even more effective than it has to be. Through medicaid the Federal Government and the States jointly undertake to provide health care to all of the millions of Americans who are on welfare or who are unable to provide for themselves. Despite all of these Government programs. over 90 percent of Americans under 65 are providing protection for themselves through health insurance.
