What happens when one of the nation’s leading advocates for community health centers sits down with one of Washington’s most prominent libertarian health policy experts?
In this episode of Community Health Centers Unfiltered, Amanda Pears Kelly welcomes Michael Cannon, Director of Health Policy Studies at the Cato Institute—a think tank known for its emphasis on limited government, free markets, and individual choice—for a thoughtful conversation about the future of community health centers.
Together, they explore the role of federal funding, workforce shortages, Medicaid reform, 340B, and the policies shaping the nation’s primary care safety net. Along the way, they tackle a bigger question: Can community health centers continue to thrive under the current model, or is it time to rethink the incentives and structures that support them?
Whether you agree with every viewpoint or not, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing community health centers, and why understanding different approaches to health policy has never been more important.
