Republic Government Reporter Weighs In On Arizona's Medicaid Expansion

The Arizona Court of Appeals heard arguments today about whether the state’s Medicaid expansion was approved legally or not.

At issue is what the law calls an assessment on providers. Critics call that a tax, which would have required a higher vote threshold than the plan got in the Legislature.

To talk about this is Mary Jo Pitzl, who covers state government for The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com.
