Lawsuit targets sponsors to cover immigrants unpaid hospital bills
Activists sue Los Angeles County arguing federal law requires sponsors to pay for medical care when immigrants cannot. They estimate taxpayers fund up to 20 million dollars yearly in unpaid bills, while the county says funds are far less. A judge will decide on Sept. 14 if the case proceeds, amid warnings it could chill legal immigrants from seeking care.
