Proposed health care policies could overregulate free market
We look forward to a successful 2024 legislative session and encourage legislators from both parties to find solutions that benefit all Arizonans and help our economy grow rather than taking sides and crippling a competitive, robust marketplace.
Foster children must be included in sex-trafficking conversation
So, for those who now understand the harsh realities facing Arizona’s foster youth, how will this past month of awareness be different from years past? Will it spark action and lasting momentum? Or simply evoke emotions that ultimately get waved away. Awareness is nothing more than empty knowledge if it never moves from thought to action, and ultimately, into change.
Funding Quality Child Care for Arizonans Makes Sense and “Cents”
It's clear to see that funding quality child care for Arizonans makes sense developmentally for young learners and makes ‘cents’ for the state’s economic growth. When Arizona’s child care works, Arizona works.
GOP will present responsible budget that Hobbs should sign
Like last year, the Republican majority will submit a responsible, balanced budget which spends within our means and prioritizes the needs of our citizens while eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. Hobbs ought to sign that proposal, and not repeat the same billion-dollar mistake.
Engaging the broader electorate in 2024
Let’s focus this election on the concerns that are most important to the vast majority of voters and bring the people of Arizona together to achieve the full potential of our state.
Allowing psychologists to prescribe drugs would endanger us
This bill is touted as a way to increase mental health access to Arizonans but it will have the opposite effect. We and thirteen other medical organizations thus believe that prescription pads must stay out of the hands of psychologists.
Congress needs to reject Credit Card Competition Act
Congress needs to oppose the Credit Card Competition Act. The bill is a cash grab by greedy corporations, and it’s going to hurt our tourism industry without benefiting everyday Arizonans.
14 years after Citizens United, Arizona leads the way, but our democracy demands more
I support constitutional reform through the For Our Freedom Amendment. The Amendment will allow states and Congress to set reasonable limits on campaign spending, restore checks and balances, and finally end the pay-to-play political system we are living through. Simply stated: It will put ‘we the people’ first.
New regulations threaten Arizona’s renewable energy industry
This regulation, despite its good intentions, will derail the utility companies’ current progress, pass costs on to consumers and likely result in a slower switch to renewable sources. With the three largest utility companies in the state already demonstrating progress in decarbonizing, it doesn’t make sense for the government to tell them how they should do so.
Phoenix must reject feds’ public safety power grab
The city of Phoenix is obligated to provide safe, effective, fiscally responsible, and constitutionally accountable law enforcement services to its citizens. Subordinating public safety to the demands of federal bureaucracies won’t accomplish that.
Legislature should evaluate influence of PBMs
As healthcare professionals, our focus should be on dismantling unnecessary barriers between patients and their prescribed treatments. I implore the Arizona Legislature to critically evaluate the influence of PBMs, with the ultimate goal of prioritizing the well-being of patients over the profit-driven motives of intermediaries.
Psilocybin’s pivotal role to reshape mental health
We are poised to take decisive action — permitting the use of psilocybin under the careful guidance of a doctor in a safe and regulated manner. We are committed to providing Arizona citizens with the option to pursue a treatment that offers a genuine pathway to recovery, free from the shackles of a lifelong reliance on pills.
