Senate OKs University Medical Center indigent care bill
The Arkansas Senate approved a bill to apportion indigent in patient and outpatient admissions at the University of Arkansas Medical Center in Little Rock among the 75 counties. The measure, sponsored by Sen. Robert Harvey, passed 18-12, with a reconsideration notice enabling another vote within three days. The bill ties in patient quotas to county population and sales tax shares, and would shift costs to residents when quotas are exhausted. Critics warned Pulaski County would be penalized due to its larger indigent population.
