HB2826 continues the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System—the state’s Medicaid program—through January 1, 2029.
The House passed HB2826 on May 10, 2023, by a vote of 56 to 3. We have assigned pluses to the nays because neither health care nor social welfare is the legitimate object of government. Medicaid, like other so-called ‘entitlement programs,’ not only relies on the discriminatory and unjust use of other citizens’ taxpayer funds in violation of the Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment, but continues to cause more debt, poverty, and government dependency in the United States.
