In rural America, the slashing of community health center funding
will be absolutely devastating because sometimes it is these health
centers that are the only way for people to get care, particularly
mental health care and addiction. Community health center patients are
spending this holiday season trying to digest the news that they may be
shut out from their psychiatrists. They may no longer be able to see
their child's primary care doctor come January 1. A 70-percent cut is
not something you can manage with efficiencies; it means an elimination
of services. Faye is from Norwalk, CT. She came to this country when she was 11. She now has DACA status. She, like so many other Dreamers, has done
everything we asked. Faye went to school.
