Exhibit 7.11: Health Center Medicaid and Uninsured Patients and Revenues by Payer Source, 1985 and 2004

Community health centers (CHCs) are an important source of primary care (and to a lesser extent specialty care) for low-income populations. As more poor children and adults became eligible for Medicaid during the 1980s and 1990s, the share of CHC patients and funding attributable to Medicaid has grown, while the shares attributable to the uninsured have fallen.
