Nearly 10,000 working parents in Arizona are scheduled to lose their health insurance through the KidsCare Parents program on September 30, 2009 due to the state legislature's failure to appropriate funding. This will negatively impact families' health and strain community health centers. Advocates call on lawmakers to understand how their budget cuts have real life consequences for families who may be forced to quit jobs or spend down savings to qualify for Medicaid instead of paying premiums under KidsCare Parents.
