This Dec. 7, 2012 photo shows Judie Nyholm at her home in Brooklyn, Minn. Nyholm was dropped from MNCare and enrolled in a voucher system after she declined to purchase private health insurance because she felt the costs were too high. A plan to shift thousands of Minnesota residents from a state-subsidized health care coverage program to vouchers for private insurance isn't getting the traction that officials planned on. About 1,200 of the 4,200 people who lost their MinnesotaCare coverage are getting the vouchers, which is well below what the state's projections. Minnesota Human Services Assistant Commissioner Scott Leitz says that it may have to do with out-of-pocket costs associated with the new program. (AP Photo/Minnesota Public Radio, Jeffrey Thompson)
