Hobbs’ ongoing discussion on the consequences of cutting Medicaid funding. During her time at Northern Arizona Healthcare’s Flagstaff campus, the governor toured the facility, met with local leaders, doctors and nurses to discuss the critical impact proposed Medicaid cuts would have on Arizonans' lives.
