• Introduced by Rep. Brenda Landwehr (R) on February 5, 2009, in her role as committee chair, to allow any health care provider to seek payment from the state for services they give to any person who is not covered by health insurance, is not eligible for Medicaid, and is at least 90 days late in paying. Once the state receives the claim, the patient would owe the state a debt that would be offset by any state tax refund or lottery prize winnings that the patient may otherwise be entitled to receive, then the state would pay that offset to the health care provider.
  • Referred to the House Social Services Budget Committee on February 6, 2009.
