Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson approved a Utah Medicaid demonstration waiver to expand benefits for primary care and preventive services to about 25,000 Utah residents who otherwise would not have access to health coverage.  The waiver allows Utah's Medicaid program to reduce some benefits to current Medicaid eligible adults in order to reallocate these funds to offer some coverage to working individuals who have no health care coverage in the workplace.
