Jacksonville healthcare programs for uninsured residents face possible funding cuts, councilman says

Healthcare programs that provide services to uninsured residents in Jacksonville may be at risk of losing city funding.  Several city council members met Wednesday evening to discuss the future of initiatives such as Jax Care Connect and Healthlink Jax, which have been used by many in the community. According to information shared at the meeting, these programs reportedly generate a $105 return for every dollar spent, largely by reducing the number of emergency room visits among uninsured individuals.
