Utah: Bill seeks fed money for medical care

Rep. Chris Herrod released a bill Friday that would require the state to request or sue the federal government for reimbursements to hospitals that provided medical care to immigrants who are in Utah illegally.

The Provo Republican has said he is carrying HB165 — the medical reimbursement bill — because he believes the current system is bringing an undue cost to the state by providing medical services to the undocumented population.
