Medicaid Restoration is at risk

Scott Smith for Governor 2014
Governor Brewer, legislators and the business community came together to do the right thing for Arizona last year. The hard work done by so many is in jeopardy as every Republican candidate for Governor except Mayor Scott Smith opposes Medicaid Restoration.

Here is Doug Ducey in his own words:

"I spoke out against Medicaid expansion."

"The expansion of it was a mistake."

Doing what is right for Arizona was a mistake?

Here is what Governor Brewer said last week about Medicaid Restoration:

"should the implementation of the Medicaid Restoration Plan be prevented, it would throw approximately 150,000 Arizonans (and climbing) off of health insurance, thereby preventing them from receiving critical, cost-effective healthcare through our model AHCCCS program; defy the will of the Arizona voters, who have twice voted to require Medicaid eligibility for all Arizonans at or below one hundred percent of the federal poverty level; threaten the viability of our state's rural and safety net hospitals; and decimate our state budget, undermining our ability to fund critical areas including child safety, education, public safety and services to Arizona's most vulnerable populations."

The Goldwater Legacy

The Goldwater legacy is strong both in Arizona and across the nation. Sen. Barry Goldwater’s book, The Conscience of a Conservative, instilled in many – including me – core conservative principles still relevant throughout the Republican Party.
Today, I am honored to announce that Sen. Goldwater’s son, former Congressman Barry Goldwater, Jr., has endorsed my campaign for Arizona governor. From his endorsement:
"Doug Ducey has earned my vote for governor because he has shown through both his business and public sector experience that he has the conservative-driven principles we need to accelerate the economy, balance the budget and provide leadership. His thoughtful approach to policy issues and steady direction reflect what is best for Arizona, and that is why he is my choice for governor.”
I’m proud to add Barry’s voice to our growing list of supporters. If you also believe in the Goldwater legacy, please consider making a donation to my campaign and helping me spread our shared message of economic strength and leadership. Whether it’s $2, $20 or $200, every penny helps.
Thanks so much!

Sincerely,
Doug
