  • N.M. limiting health insurance

    Gov. Bill Richardson’s administration will limit enrollment in a rapidly growing program that offers taxpayer-subsidized health insurance for low-income adults.

    The Human Services Department estimates it could save $16 million a year in state money to help with a looming budget shortfall if the cost-cutting measure keeps 10,000 people from joining the program.

    Enrollment has increased by 1,000 to almost 3,000 people monthly during the past year as the economy slumped.

    The Los Alamos Hilltopper volleyball team grabbed its second suite in as many days Thursday.
