Money will go to clinics in 40 states that provide care even to those who cannot pay -
WASHINGTON The Obama administration on Friday announced $727 million will go to help fix up community health centers across the country, the first of $11 billion for the centers promised by the U.S. healthcare reform law.
The money will go to 143 community health centers which provide services regardless of patients' ability to pay in about 40 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico, the Health and Human Services department said.
Healthcare reforms signed into law by President Barack Obama in March call for $11 billion in funding over the next five years for the centers, which HHS said currently serve nearly 19 million patients, about 40 percent of whom are uninsured. [...]

We already have Medicaid for our legal citizens who can't afford health care so who are the 40 percent? Illegals? It appears we're moving towards a global health care system as this is how they do it in Europe.

Can they pick up their free cell phones and electric scooters while at the clinics too? Wouldn’t want to make the “takers” to have to lift their lazy asses out of their chairs more than once!

As much money to finance Obamacare as possible will be advanced to select constituencies until the GOP turns the spigot off.
Look for the 15,000 new IRS agents that will enforce Obamacare to be in place before the New Congress is seated.

re: Probably will fund abortions.
My thoughts exactly. More money for Planned Parenthood, no doubt.

Illegals don’t just get in line. They walk to the front of it. Then our government loads them up with so many goods and services they can hardly walk away. And the first citizen that comes along..., sorry folks, we’re out of money.

I don't know why they can't get their nails and hair done too while they are at it! Maybe even have a drive through birthing center too so they can drop them faster and get on with making another one. We certainly don't want to stop 'PROGRESS'! /s

I presume that 99% of these clinics are to be found in inner city Democrat slums.

Yes, right after they fill out a voter registration....They don't even have to do that. A "community organizer" will be on hand to do that for them.

One of the forms patients will be asked to sign is a pre-completed ballot for the 2012 presidential election.
This is nothing more than vote-buying in the wake of the November Massacre.
