handle is hein.gao/gaobacjkn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 0 STUDY BY THE STAFF OF THE US. General Accounting Office Problems In The Structure And Management Of The Migrant Health Program This study discusses the status of the Depart- ment of Health and Human Services' Migrant Health program and the program's relationship to other Federal efforts to provide health ser- vices to the medically underserved. It also dis- cusses the Department's practice of jointly funding health centers with Migrant Health funds and Community Health Center program funds together with reasons for consolidating aspects of these programs. This study also provides insight into the access-to-health-care barriers faced by migrant farm workers, which current Federal efforts have not completely overcome. The study explores several alternatives for structuring and funding the Migrant Health program, including the administration's pro- posal to consolidate the program into a health block grant to the States.
