Jan Brewer Medicaid Cuts Have Arizona Governor Under Fire

Jan Brewer Medicaid Cuts Have Arizona Governor Under Fire: "Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) commented recently on the cuts to her state's Health Care Cost Containment System, which have imperiled the lives of some patients in need of an organ transplant.
