UCare sues to halt ouster from state health programs, claims bid process tainted

In asking a Ramsey County court to slam the brakes on sweeping new health plan contracts, UCare is taking aim at a bidding process during which it says state officials violated laws and steamrolled recommendations of dozens of counties.

UCare is seeking a temporary injunction to stop the state Department of Human Services from dropping the HMO next year for most people in public health insurance programs.
