How 2027 Medicaid cuts will impact Arizona hospitals

New Medicaid changes have taken effect as a result of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” This month in Arizona, some legal immigrants and refugees lost their coverage. In Arizona, the expected number of people affected is over 30,000. And beginning in 2027, new work requirements for Medicaid recipients will take effect.

Arizonans rally against spiking healthcare costs, reduced services

With midterm elections just days away, healthcare advocates are explaining to voters what is at stake. Changes to Medicaid and the elimination of Affordable Care Act premium subsidies have meant fewer services and less security for low-income and food-insecure Arizonans. The advocacy group Protect Our Care has organized a 15-state, four-week bus tour , traversing the country as SNAP and Medicaid recipients navigate rule changes. They face the prospect of more disruption next year when Medicaid work requirements go into effect. Adam Hoyer, national organizing director for the group, said people will share their experiences with increasing healthcare costs and changes to Medicaid requirements, including in Arizona on Oct. 30. "Officials, advocates, providers, and then a whole lot of healthcare storytellers, people who can share firsthand experience about what these higher premiums have meant for them, these Medicaid cuts have meant for them, and some of the tough choices that they've been having to deal with as a result," Hoyer outlined. A new report from the Pew Research Center showed healthcare affordability is a pressing concern for nearly three-quarters of voters as the midterms approach. The Protect Our Care bus tour stops in Tucson and Flagstaff on Oct. 29 and
