Dan Liljenquist: No 5-year wait for child health insurance for immigrants

Hatch accused Liljenquist of voting to expand child health insurance programs when he was a state senator.

"That is simply not true," Liljenquist said.

"Well, of course, it's true," Hatch responded.

"The vote I took in the Legislature removed a five-year waiting period for legal immigrants--LEGAL immigrants--to qualify for these programs. That's all I did," Liljenquist said.

"That's an expansion," Hatch said.

"That was not an expansion," Liljenquist said.
