Counties wrestle with inmate health care costs across budgets
Finney County reports near $200,000 in inmate health care costs against a $56,500 budget for 2005 as counties including Anderson and Keating County seek to fund hospitalization and medications through Medicaid and local funds. Some inmates are insured, but insurers rarely cover all needs, prompting use of nurse visits, basic meds, and a cafeteria plan for healthier meals.
