But in Paula's case, her health plan pays her. That's because her employer, Health Trust, works with a company called Vitols SmartShopper that rewards wor...
Charlie Katebi and KGAB's Gary Freeman discuss Governor Matt Mead's budget cuts and how the state's fiscal crisis exposes Medicaid's empty promises to patients.
by Charles Katebi In civics 101, we learn how government works. Voters elect legislators, legislators pass bills, and bills become law. This side of government is transparent and accountable.
