Arizona Governor Brewer Moves to Restore Transplants

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer proposed a way to fund vital organ transplants, three months after the state became the only one in the U.S. to stop paying for them to cut Medicaid spending.

Brewer, 66, said she wants to set up a $151 million uncompensated-care pool to pay health-care providers for “life-saving” procedures, according to a summary of her budget proposal. The fund would partly offset the Republican’s plan to end coverage for 280,000 Arizonans by reining in eligibility.
