Why the criticism for Arizona when there are 44 other states that already don't provide medicaid for childless adults

Arizona is one of six states with the most generous coverage, a plan voters approved a decade ago.

The requirement to maintain eligibility does not prevent Arizona from dropping people whose coverage goes above and beyond Medicaid requirements, such as the childless adults, when the state renews its request for federal matching funds this fall, Sebelius said.

Arizona's spending on Medicaid now accounts for about 30 percent of the state's budget, up from 17 percent in 2007.

Arizona Medicaid cuts OK, feds say

Arizona cannot print money and they are spending their resources on illegal aliens that the federal government won't keep out and refuses to deport. Many states could be in a similar financial pickle soon.

And the rest of the country should support their effort.
