This bill proposes to establish the Arizona HEALTH program within the Arizona health care cost containment system, providing comprehensive health benefit coverage to all residents who enroll. Key definitions are introduced, including terms like "Administration," "Enrollee," and "Participating provider." The program will not require enrollees to pay premiums, and it allows residents the option to purchase private health insurance if they choose not to enroll. Additionally, a board of trustees will be created to oversee the program, consisting of various appointed members, including representatives from health care advocacy organizations and professional health care groups.

The bill also outlines the development of a benefit coverage plan that includes a range of health care services and mandates the creation of a revenue proposal to fund the program. This proposal will include a payroll tax structure, exemptions for lower-income residents, and specific employer-employee contribution requirements. The administration is tasked with establishing rules for provider qualifications and payment methodologies, while ensuring that no contracts are made with health insurers to manage services. The act is titled the "End of Privatization of Health Care Act" and will not be implemented until the legislature adopts the necessary revenue proposal.
