The Arizona Republic, January 7, 2016: Advocates push to restore health insurance for kids in low-income families
“A coalition of health and advocacy groups are spearheading an effort to restore a pre-Affordable Care Act program that provided health insurance for thousands of low-income Arizona children. In 2010, Arizona froze enrollment in the KidsCare health-insurance program for low-income families amid budget cuts following the Great Recession. In 2014, Arizona ended KidsCare with the idea that children would instead be covered under the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion and federal marketplace.”
