Health Care Program Ends
Hundreds of people in Minnesota who aren't U.S. citizens will no longer receive most health care services from a program of last resort.
The Emergency Medical Assistance program served about 23-hundred people who didn't qualify for Medicare or MinnesotaCare because of their immigration status.
