How Gov. Katie Hobbs, Congressman Andy Biggs differ on SNAP and Medicaid
Whoever wins the Arizona governor’s race in November will face big changes to Medicaid – reforms that have already upended Arizona’s SNAP program. Whoever wins the Arizona governor’s race in November will face significant changes to Medicaid, following the implementation of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which included expanded work requirements and frequent eligibility checks. The changes have led to a significant decline in Arizona's SNAP program, with over 400,000 people falling off their rolls since the tax law's signing in July 2025, a 45% decline. The state's Medicaid program, the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, will be implemented on Jan. 1. Governor Katie Hobbs and Republican opponent Andy Biggs differ on the proposed reforms. Biggs supports the bill, arguing that it was designed to ensure only eligible people receive benefits and aims to reduce waste, fraud and abuse. The new state budget includes funding for more staff and improved technology, and Hobbs is working to address long wait times.
