Education Piece
Prop 108, Medicaid, and lawsuits.
The Arizona Two-thirds For Taxes Amendment, also known as Proposition 108, was a citizen-initiated constitutional amendment on the statewide ballot in Arizona, which was approved in the statewide election on November 3, 1992.
Prop 108 requires a two-thirds vote of the legislature to increase taxes on the Arizona people.
How will Medicaid expansion be funded? How are we going to pay for it? Hospitals have agreed to charge a fee for each patient and when the money is collected, send it to the State to be used to fund the Medicaid program. For every dollar we then spend in the Medicaid program, the Federal government will then give Arizona $9 in return. Sounds great, right?
The problem is, when you charge a patient a "fee" to be there at that hospital, it is widely know as and considered a "bed tax." Medicaid does allow for creative funding by allowing hospital bed taxes. However, in Arizona, that would then trigger Prop 108 and would have required 2/3 of the Legislature to vote yes. However, the Governor is claiming the "exception clause" of Prop 108 and saying it isn't a tax. Here is the exception clause:
2. Fees and assessments that are authorized by statute, but are not prescribed by formula, amount or limit, and are set by a state officer or agency.
Governor Brewer changed the definition of a bed tax to a patient assessment, trying to avoid Prop 108. But it is a tax, and she only had 33 yes votes and 27 no votes, which was not the required 2/3 majority needed to raise taxes on us. And, she has now allowed the Director of AHCCCS to set the so-called assessment (tax) at whatever rate he wants. Get that? An un-elected bureaucrat now has the power to decide how much to charge you if you are ever in the hospital.
Therefore, we need to make sure this is challenged both in court and referred to the ballot to be repealed. That will require gathering signatures. Will you commit to filling out one or more pages of signatures? As soon as they are available, we will let you know how to get them.
We cannot let a rogue group of people with no regard for the laws of Arizona run rough shod over the tax payer.
