Protect AHCCCS (Medicaid)
AHCCCS covers 1 in 4 Arizonans—including children, seniors, people with disabilities and working families. Cuts to coverage or provider payments ripple across the system, raising costs and reducing access. Arizonans for Better Healthcare educates communities and policymakers on the real‑world impacts and mobilizes action to preserve coverage, sustain providers and protect patient care.
What success looks like:
Stable coverage, fair reimbursement, reduced uncompensated care and stronger access in rural and urban communities.
Strengthen rural health
Arizona’s rural hospitals and clinics are lifelines. Arizonans for Better Healthcare leads stakeholder engagement through surveys, listening sessions and provider focus groups to inform planning for the Arizona Rural Health Transformation Plan, ensuring funds and programs align with frontline needs.
What success looks like:
Sustainable rural facilities, reliable transport, specialty access and resilient workforce pipelines.
Improve accountability & alignment
Patients deserve timely, high‑quality care without unnecessary administrative barriers. Arizonans for Better Healthcare supports policy and payer alignment that reduces denials and down‑coding, honors clinical judgment and improves transparency so clinicians can focus on patients, not paperwork.
What success looks like:
Fewer avoidable delays, clearer rules, improved provider‑plan collaboration and better patient outcomes.
Elevate trust in healthcare
We showcase the value hospitals and clinicians deliver in their communities, including quality, safety, innovation and charity care, because informed Arizonans make better choices and stronger policy follows.
