Maricopa County voters are currently deciding on ArMA-endorsed Proposition 409, an $898M bond proposal that will allow Valleywise to expand and meet growing demand from the community. Valleywise is a safety-net hospital system, a national leader in burn and trauma care, and a cornerstone of physician training for our state.

  • A new 200-bed behavioral health hospital,
  • An outpatient specialty center on the main campus,
  • Growth in emergency services by expanding beds,
  • Enhancement of their residency program.

Arizona Erases $1 Billion in Medical Debt for Nearly 671,000 Residents

Hobbs Highlights Milestone in Ongoing Partnership With Undue Medical Debt Gov. Katie Hobbs announced this week that more than $1 billion in medical debt has been erased for nearly 671,000 Arizonans, marking a significant milestone in the state's ongoing partnership with the nonprofit Undue Medical Debt. How the Program Works The initiative, first launched in 2024, purchases qualifying medical debt from hospitals and collection agencies for a fraction of its value before eliminating the debt entirely for eligible patients. Who Qualifies According to the governor's office, recipients do not need to apply for the program. It is available to Arizona residents who: Receive low- and moderate-income Have medical debt that represents a substantial share of their annual income A Flashpoint in the 2026 Election Season Healthcare affordability has been at the forefront of Arizona's political conversation as the 2026 election season intensifies. Supporters argue that relieving burdensome medical debt can improve: Families' financial stability Creditworthiness Willingness to seek needed healthcare Critics of similar programs have generally questioned whether debt forgiveness addresses the underlying drivers of rising healthcare costs or simply treats the financial consequences after care has been delivered. As debates continue over healthcare affordability and access, Arizona's medical debt relief initiative is expected to remain a prominent example in broader discussions about how states can help patients facing significant medical expenses.
