in Pawlenty’s administration had given Oct. 1 as a realistic date for the Medicaid rollout.

Dayton said timetables changed after he appointed Human Services Commissioner Cindy Jesson and charged her with making the Medicaid expansion a top goal.

The expansion of the federal-state program, called Medical Assistance in Minnesota, is expected to bring $1.3 billion in federal dollars to hospitals, clinics and doctors. It will bring more generous benefits for 83,000 adults now insured by two state-funded programs, MinnesotaCare and General Assistance Medical Care, and provide coverage for 12,000 uninsured.

Minnesota is one of a small group of states that already offered health care coverage for low-income adults. The federal health care law gave those states the option of moving those patients into Medicaid to draw a federal match until 2014,the realization of additional useful power to the turbine.
In such radial inflow turbines, reduced flow is accommodated by adjusting the inflow nozzles. The flow which is discharged from the turbine wheel tends to be thrown outwardly by centrifugal force such that the inner portion of the flow nearest to the axis of the turbine wheel at the discharge will be substantially diminished while flow near the periphery of the discharge will still better approximate the flow at optimum flow rates. As a result, the secondary nozzles still perform reasonably well to reduce angular momentum in the discharge. Naturally, the unavoidable fixed losses in the turbine must be prorated against a smaller flow. Efficiency is correspondingly diminished. This diminution in efficiency is generally unavoidable.
Flows larger than the design flow
