President Donald Trump laid out a slew of executive orders earlier this week that could indicate a funding freeze within a wide variety of services and jobs, including the healthcare industry.
A judge paused the freeze earlier this week, but many clinics in Minnesota have already started to feel the effects of the uncertainty around future funding. Community Health Centers, which were established during the Civil Rights Movement to support people without the money to pay for medical services, use federal money to operate.
Jonathan Watson, the CEO of the Minnesota Association of Community Health Centers, joined Minnesota Now to talk about the uncertainty facing 17 centers across the state.
