Ken Bennett AZ Candidate For Governor 5-5-5 Plan

With 1.3 million people on AHCCCS, Arizona’s next Governor will need a detailed plan and the experience necessary to deal with the rising costs of healthcare in the Grand Canyon State.  The best aid we can provide is to help people help themselves. Along with providing opportunities for employment, the Medicaid and AHCCCS systems themselves need to be re-designed. That’s why I’ve proposed the 5-5-5 Plan.  First, we must create enough high-paying jobs to move 5% of current AHCCCS enrollees to a health plan provided by their employers. Second, we can reduce the cost of AHCCCS by 5% by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.  Finally, we will convert 5% of enrollees to a pilot program using Health Savings Accounts. When Arizonans find themselves in hard times, we should provide temporary aid. However, too many recipients are thinning the resources available to those truly in need.  As we improve the economy and restructure AHCCCS and Medicaid, we will see the number of Arizonans in need drop significantly.
