Meanwhile, Sanders said in a statement Monday that he has had"very productive conversations" with members of the Senate HELP Committee on bipartisan legislation to address the nation's worsening primary care crisis. Sanders said he hopes to have a bill ready by the first week of September.that would invest $20 billion over a five-year period into expanding community health centers.
"As every American knows, our country faces a major crisis in primary care and a massive shortage of doctors, nurses, mental health professionals, and dentists," Sanders said last week."Tens of millions of Americans live in communities where they cannot find a doctor while others have to wait months to be seen."
"At the end of the day," he added,"this crisis not only increases human suffering and unnecessary deaths, but wastes tens of billions a year as Americans flock to expensive ER rooms or hospitals because they could not access the primary care they need."
