The Confederated Goshute Tribes of Utah say their sovereignty protects them from Michigan's health care laws.
The Goshutes have opened a clinic and have broken ground on a full-service hospital in Clinton Township, Michigan. The facilities will serve Indians and non-Indians.
The state says the Goshutes have to apply for a certificate of need from the Michigan Department of Community Health. Tribal officials hope to negotiate a compromise.
