FQHCs in the county (Community Medical Centers, Golden Valley Health Centers) will see these patients shift to emergency-only dental or uninsured status. Data from Manteca Bulletin based on county health department analysis.

As FQHCs face staffing cuts from H.R. 1, the risk is that remaining staff will have even less time per patient, accelerating the trust gap. Primary-source evidence that CHW investment is a revenue strategy, not just a cost.

The agricultural heartland's FQHCs serve predominantly Latino farmworker populations with high Medi-Cal dependency, making them exceptionally vulnerable to per-capita cap models and work requirements.
