It’s hard to describe the joy of finally qualifying for the ballot after over a year of hard work. We won and we’re gonna keep on winning! @azforaccess@AZrising
Senators on both sides of the aisle rightly call out @US_FDA for failing to crack down on flavored vapes that target kids. Congress needs to urge the FDA to do its job and ban illegal vapes. @RepRubenGallego @SenatorSinema @RepGregStanton@RepCiscomani

Panel: Reducing the Impact of #MedicalDebt
How can debt collection be more ethical? (Is that possible?) How can states take action to protect their residents? How can institutions invest in #financialnavigation to improve affordability?

30% of Arizonans have debt in collections. In our communities of color, it’s 45%, and it’s higher in rural communities as well…#Prop209 is now acting as the defacto lawyer to help ensure more patients are protected. -@kaylanfodor, @AZrising#CancerNationalForum#MedicalDebt

It’s the @FTC’s Consumer Protection Week
Arizonans overwhelmingly support protecting regular people from predatory lenders. That’s why we voted to lower max interest rates for medical debt in November and it’s a top priority.

An excellent bill passed committee today at the State Capitol: HB2338 increases access to dental care for those on AHCCCS. Thank you @DrAmishShah for sponsoring and all the legislators who supported it.
Democrats running statewide in Arizona are in excellent shape. Katie Hobbs (GOV) and Kris Mayes (AG) are the clear favorites and I would confidently bet on Kathy Hoffman (SPI). Thread got delayed since counties kept dropping ballots!
Time to show my work below🧵

JUST IN: Prop. 209 was just approved by voters. It’ll cap interest rates for medical debt and protect certain items from debt collectors.
