It encourages expanded activities by State governments in primary health care by establishing a new program of grants to the States for planning and development of primary care services. At the same time. the legislation includes several provisions designed to encourage even more effective coordination of State and Federal primary care activities. Just as the community health centers have provided essential health services to the poor and underserved in urban and rural areas throughout the country. migrant health centers have provided health services to one of the most deprived groups In our societymigrant farmworkers. For this group in particular. the services of health centers have often literally meant the difference between life and death. I am disturbed by the authorization levels of $400 million included in this bill for fiscal year 1987 and fiscal year 1988.
