ahcccs in Arizona

edited July 2011 in Current Events
So I get a letter in the mail from Ahcccs stating that as of july 7, 2011 no new applications will be accepted because they are currently freezing the ahcccs care program.. im due july 24th but doctor feels like I wont last another week so does that mean my unborn child will not be getting covered for insurance???

  • @damiens_mommy09 yes due to budget crisis in Arizona :/

  • Yes I still have it... my biggest concern is my child not being covered witch will suck @MrsForesee
  • Omg :/ that sucks I was counting on that at least for my baby @iheartkarma
  • I know @Damiens_mommy09 im going to have to look into it because I rather my kids be covered then myself.
  • Yeah. Not sure they will "grandfather " your child in. :( I know it's not all Jan Brewer 's fault but it sucks all she's agreed to cut.
  • @Mrsforesee I know so many changes going on its starting to become overwhelming.
