Sec. 136.001.  PURPOSE.  The legislature finds that:
(1)  community health centers play a significant role in the delivery of medical care and related services to the residents of this state who cannot afford health insurance;

(3)  the financing sources available for the capital needs of community health centers, such as buildings and equipment, are inadequate;  and
(4)  increasing community health centers' access to capital would benefit residents of this state in poor and underserved communities and foreign-born residents who are uninsured, by providing greater access to primary care and preventive health services and by targeting the common health problems of these residents.
