#Arizona GOP still fighting to block expansion of any healthcare for the poor: Although a majority of both houses of Arizona’s legislature also supported the Medicaid expansion, significant minorities did not. This could matter because a provision of the state constitution states that most laws that provide “for a net increase in state revenues” require a two-thirds supermajority in both houses in order to become law. Wednesday’s decision by the state supreme court held that a bloc of lawmakers, that would have been large enough to kill the Medicaid expansion bill if this constitutional provision applied to it, has the legal right to bring a lawsuit challenging the hospital assessments that fund Arizona’s share of the expansion. #ACA
