Endorsed by the Utah Health Policy Commission and passed by the 1995 State Legislature, House Bill 305 makes some key reforms in the insurance law that will guarantee coverage for many uninsurable individuals. Effective January 1, 1996, this law allows these eligible This provision requires all insurance companies who issue small group coverage to accept these uninsurable Utahns up to an enrollment cap of 12 of the insurers total number of covered small group insureds. Once 90 of the insurers have reached their respective caps, the enrollment cap can be reset.

The two part surgery, pioneered by Swedish researchers who reported on it a year ago, is considered a possible solution to progressive arthritis in patients knees. Robert T. Burks, M.D. extricated cartilage from the damaged knee of a Farmington man. The cells were placed in a growth medium in a test tube for several weeks, resulting in the growth of millions of cells. During open knee surgery, Burks will implant these healthy new cells into the damaged knee. If results in Sweden hold, the patient, who previously had undergone one open knee surgery and two arthroscopic clean-ou- t procedures on his knee which tfans-plantatio- ld for less a kept him pain-fre- e will a hopefully at time, year have good results. Even twoyears after surgery, he is expected to have less pain and swelling and no evidence of locking. Burks trained with orthopedic surgeons at the University of Goteborg, Sweden where 120-15- 0 knee transplantations have been performed. He is the first surgeon in Utah to perform the operation. Accordingto Burks, Cartilage damage does not heal itself. Cartilage acts as a shock absorber for the knee and other joints. We have never been able to repair cartilage damaged either by injury or the normal wear and tear of the aging process. Now we can grow it. I hope the developing new technology can eventually allow joint repair, of the hips, shoulders and elbows as well as the knees. For further information, contact Robert. T. Burks, Courts rule Dems can have own PPE On February 1, the Courts ruled on a lawsuit filed by Democratic and Libertarian parties to keep the Secretary of State from placing Democrats and Libertarian candidates on the Preference Election Presi-denti- al (PPE) ballot. The Court in essence said that both parties have the right to decline to participate in the PPE and to decide the process by which their candidates are se- lected. What that means, Coconino County Recorder Candace Owens said, Democrats are scheduled to have their own party run election on March 9, 1996. For more info on that election, contact Jeanne Perpich at Early absentee ballots for the PPE are available as of February 12. To request an early ballot, contact the Fredonia Town Clerk. 754-085- 4.
