Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1373, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to ensure health care access for all residents by appropriating funds for nonprofit, community-based health care providers to provide direct health care services to uninsured residents.

 

     The Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Hawaii Primary Care Association, Kupuna Caucus of the Democratic Party of Hawaii, Healthcare Association of Hawaii, Lanai Women's Center dba Lanai Community Health, Hoola Lahui Hawaii, Waimanalo Health Center, Kalihi-Palama Health Center, and several concerned individuals supported this bill.  The Department of Health opposed this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1373, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
