Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has granted permission to cut people from the state’s Medicaid rolls.

Brewer, 66, has proposed eliminating 250,000 childless adults from the joint state-federal health-care program for the poor to help save $541.5 million in the coming fiscal year.
