HB2863 contains provisions for health care-related budget appropriations for FY 2023, including the expansion of Medicaid eligibility in Arizona.
The Senate passed HB2863 on June 23, 2022, by a vote of 20 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the nays because it involves substantial amounts of unconstitutional federal funding for health care. States should oppose the use of federal taxpayer money for purposes not authorized under Article 1, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution.
