Health Centers Regulations
 

I am deeply concerned about the impact of the health centers regulations on access to reproductive health care.   Extensive, burdensome requirements for clinic buildings that are unrelated to the services health centers provide and have no proven medical benefit will reduce or eliminate patient access to health care.  Those who most require access to affordable health care options will most likely be adversely affected by reduced availability of these centers.  Please amend the regulations to  those based purely on medicine and science and should not impede women's access to essential health care.  Thank you for your consideration.
