No action yet on Rep. Rush's UC investigation request

The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hasn't taken any action yet on Rep. Bobby Rush's request to investigate allegations of patient dumping at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

A Rush spokesman told the Daily News that a few conversations have taken place between the university, and Rush's office has learned a bit more about the issue. However, she did not elaborate.

As it stands, it doesn't appear that Rush's request is making much headway at this point. A committee spokesperson did not return calls for comment.
