Arizona’s SNAP program has seen a dramatic enrollment drop—halved since last July—after H.R. 1 imposed stricter work rules and more frequent eligibility checks. Health officials warn Medicaid faces the same fate, with major cuts set to begin January 2027. Local health leader Mike Renaud fears losing 400,000 to 600,000 Medicaid enrollees, devastating working families already struggling. While lawmakers defend the reforms as necessary to curb fraud and unsustainable spending, the state budget already allocates funds for the new checks—igniting a fierce debate over who’s being hurt and whether the cost of reform outweighs the consequences.
