        (a)  Declaration of necessity.--It is hereby declared that
     adequate professional health services are essential for the
     maintenance of the physical and mental health of the residents
     of this Commonwealth, and that it is necessary that provision be
     made for adequate professional health services to persons of low

     dependents of such necessaries of life as food, clothing and
     shelter.
        (b)  Construction of chapter.--It is hereby declared to be
     the purpose and intent of this chapter and the policy of the
     General Assembly to authorize qualified persons to provide
     adequate professional health services for residents of this
     Commonwealth who are unable to provide such services for
     themselves or their dependents at their own cost without
     depriving themselves or their dependents of such necessaries of
     life as food, clothing and shelter, and provide persons of over-
     income with the limited professional health services benefits
     set forth in this chapter.
