What this is about

A community health center serves an area where care is hard to find. It takes patients who cannot pay much. This is the largest sum in this part.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
