The federal funds become available Oct. 1. Leavitt charged the Health Policy Commission with several goals he wants accomplished within the next six months, including drafting legislation, setting up a program to administer the block grant and figuring out where to get the $6 million in state money to match the federal funds. The place we can make the most progress the soonest is with children, Leavitt told the group. We have already reduced the number of children without insurance from 12 percent to 8 percent. We could drive it down to a point where there are only a few children in this state who dont have insurance ... and Norm Waitzman on behalf of the advocacy group Utah Issues. The said critique HealthPrint had failed to expand Medicaid to working poor Utahns because the process under which the state was seeking permission to expand those rolls - through a Medicaid waiver - was flawed. Leavitt said Waitzmans report focused on just one goal of HealthPrint and that other reforms did successfully extend insurance to those who have previously been unable to get it. Four years ago, there were lots of reasons you couldnt buy insurance and almost all of those reasons are gone, he said. There is no person in the state of Utah who can be denied health insurance because of a poor health condition and no person can be denied coverage in the private market.

That money, several million dollars, was earned through savings by shifting Medicaid patients into managed-car- e plans. It is robbing a fund that was set aside to extend the effort of the waiver, and the progress with respect to children should not substitute for continued efforts with regard to large gaps in coverage for working-poo- r Utahns, said Waitzman.

We have a lot of opportunity to help children and that ought to be a main part of our agenda over the next six months, the governor said at a state' Health Policy Commission retreat. He said the boards second and third priorities should be extending Medicaid coverage to more elderly, blind and disabled Utahns and then working-poo- r adults. Patrick Poulin, executive director of the advocacy group Utah Issues, said the federal funds should make children an immediate priority, but not at the expense of other uninsured Utahns. Certainly we should be taking advantage of what the federal government has done. But we also need to increase Utahs commitment to the working poor and the 190,000 uninsured people in this state, Poulin said. We havent had the type of budgetary commitment that is needed.
