Arizona recently placed new enrollment caps for people, such as childless adults, enrolling in the AHCCCS for the first time or for people re-enrolling in the program.
According to the report, public interest law firms said the limits violated state constitutional protections for voter-approved laws. In 2000, a ballot measure that increased eligibility for the Medicaid program was passed.
However, last month a trial judge said the state does not have an “enforceable duty” to fund the ballot measure that passed.
