[WSBAPT] DSHS creditor claim 2014-2021

Wed Sep 1 10:02:35 PDT 2021

One additional fact to explore.  If this claim is for medical bills, after
the Affordable Care act passed, the state could not claim back medical
bills that should have been covered by the Act.
I no longer have the citation for those statutes but had DSHS some years
ago claim for medical expenses and then drop the claim when I raised that
issue.
That could potentially reduce the claim.
