“'Absent a clearly expressed legislative intent requiring otherwise, "subrogated”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““There is no basis, however, for concluding that the Legislature did not intend by its very careful use of the term ‘subrogation’ to import the equitable incidénces of that remedy. As we pointed out, that doctrine is distinctively equitable in nature and is generally understood to mean that a party entitled to the right of sub-rogation should bear or share the reasonable costs which have been incurred in bringing that right to fruition.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Cowdell““When the department makes medical assistance payments in behalf of a recipient, the department is subrogated to any right of the recipient against a third party for recovery of medical expenses to the extent that the department has made payment.””
