Utah firefighters face another fight: Cancer coverage

Utah lawmakers expanded workers’ compensation protections for firefighters diagnosed with certain cancers, but a new KSL investigation finds that gaps in the law are still leaving some claims denied. West Jordan firefighter and paramedic Justin Young faced another battle when his prostate cancer returned: His claim was denied because his original diagnosis came before the law’s expansion. KSL investigator Matt Gephardt joins the show to explain Young’s case, the limits of the current protections, and lawmakers’ plans to address coverage gaps in the next legislative session.
