Mr. Speaker. H.R. 1747. the federally supported Health Centers Assistance Act of 1995. makes permanent. at no additional cost to taxpayers. a highly successful demonstration project offering malpractice coverage for the Nations community. migrant. and homeless citizens under the Federal Tort Claims Act. H.R. 1747 will ensure that the maximum amount of the limited Federal funds supporting health centers are spent to provide quality patient care and services. rather than to pay for malpractice insurance premiums. The limited demonstration project saved health centers millions of dollars on malpractice insurance expenses over the past 2 years. allowing health centers to offer their services to an additional 75.000 patients.
