Why are clinics for the uninsured expanding under Obamacare?
The Affordable Care Act is intended to reduce the number of people who are without health insurance. Then why are clinics for the uninsured and underinsured planning to expand?
Inner City Health Clinic in Denver is planning to expands its fitness center and mental health clinic. Maple City Health Center in Goshen, Indiana will double its capacity. In Florida, the Osceola County health center is planning three new clinics to meet increasing demand. And so on.
What is driving this expansion? If more people are seeking medical care through mainstream avenues, why are clinics that serve people on the margins of the system growing so rapidly?
