TL;DR Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders has proposed a $200 billion plan to address the growing health workforce shortages and financial woes of community health centers. The plan includes $130 billion for community health centers and $60 billion in funding to grow the workforce, with $15 billion set aside for graduate medical education programs. However, Senate Republicans and the House are unlikely to endorse the proposal's huge increases, making it an uphill climb for Sanders to pass the legislation. Community health center advocates have also descended on Washington with concerns over historic financial challenges.
