The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (Medicaid) enjoys grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation State Coverages Initiatives program. Director Anthony Rodgers clearly thinks that he should have the right to experiment using the the people of Arizona. Some of his choice quotes include describing Arizona as a "Policy Laboratory for Small Business Coverage." He also described the Arizona Medicaid Health Information Exchange Utility as a “health system transformation.” What it really is is an untested system for computerizing patient records.

This is unfortunate since some constitutional scholars believed Proposition 101 could have potentially prevented Arizona residents from ever being saddled with a state-run health care system.
