Florida Health care grants

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act effective in February through the Health Resources Services Administration was granted an extra $851 million in June. Health centers in the state of Florida received $41,038,000 in CIP funding. The grants were dispersed to 50 federally authorized health center grantees in Florida and 1,100 across the nation. These funds will be used for the desperately needed repair and renovation for thousands of health care centers nationwide. The funds will also be used to purchase updated equipment. Because more Americans are losing their health insurance or cannot afford insurance they are turning to these health centers for care. Should these health care centers receive all of these grants?
