‘‘(e) PREFERENCES.—In awarding grants under this 2 section, the Secretary shall give preference to SBHCs that 3 have a demonstrated record of service to the following: 4 ‘‘(1) A high percentage of medically under5 served children and adolescents. 6 ‘‘(2) Communities or populations in which chil7 dren and adolescents have difficulty accessing health 8 and mental health services. 9 ‘‘(3) Communities with high percentages of chil10 dren and adolescents who are uninsured, under11 insured, or eligible for medical assistance under Fed12 eral or State health benefits programs (including ti13 tles XIX and XXI of the Social Security Act). How will they give preferences for these grants to "communities with high percentages of children and adolescents who are uninsured, under-insured or eligible for medical assistance under State health benefits programs? Isn't the whole point of this "reform" to eliminate such circumstances? http://edlabor.house.gov/documents/111/pdf/publications/AAHCA-BillText-071409.pdf Page 996
