I believe Arizona will review its actions and make necessary changes to its new policy.

Based on?

This is the state where the Governor and Leader of the State Senate were lining up to get kickbacks from private prisons for jailing women and children.

No, those politicians are just like any other's and this has actually been known for a bit. They have no problem with the stupid factor in AZ.

welcome to the world of government run health care. ahcccs does a pretty good job dealing with health care issues, but it is not a perfect system. but what the heck lets just throw the state budget to the wind and give everyone all the health care they need, expensive transplants, the best and most expensive medications, private rooms at the hospitals, ambulance service when ever they want, and what the heck lets open that up for everyone regardless of where you are from. yeah that ought to make sure the state of arizona, and the federal government for that matter, can be able to tax everyone at 100% and still not have enough money to pay the bills.

i am sorry but there needs to be some sanity in the state and federal budgets. we cannot continue to spend money like it grows on trees. we have to make the tough decisions and EVERYONE has to take a bite from the crap sandwich. for instance, i am an ahcccs patient, and i am going to very likely need a kidney transplant in a few years, but i wont expect the state to pay for it. there are plenty of charities, and foundations who are privately funded that pay for things like this, but the people who need thes kinds of treatments are the ones that need to go out an contact these charities and foundations.
