U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen, D-Appleton, to donate congressional pay raise to clinics in Green Bay and Menasha that provide free health care
WASHINGTON — Congress is getting a $4,700 automatic pay raise this year, but Rep. Steve Kagen says he is giving his to two medical clinics that provide free health care to low-income people.
The N.E.W. Community Clinic in Green Bay and Fox Cities Community Health Center in Menasha will get a little over $2,300 each, the Appleton Democrat said Wednesday.
"The people who need their services are those who have fallen through the cracks. People who don't have insurance at work. People who can't afford health insurance. People who can't afford their medical prescriptions," Kagen said.
In 2007 and 2008, Kagen sent his pay raises to the general treasury for deficit reduction.
