    EVERETT — Amid proposed federal cuts to Medicaid, U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett, visited Compass Health’s new behavioral health center Wednesday. The nonprofit expects to open the 72,000-square-foot, $71 million center in August to serve about 1,300 people per year. The center at 3322 Broadway in Everett would provide a range of treatments to patients experiencing mental health crises. Nearly all of those patients will rely on Medicaid, which is in jeopardy at the federal level, Larsen said.
