President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also referred to as federal healthcare reform) into law on March 23, 2010. Federal healthcare reform will require states to increase their Medicaid eligibility to 133 percent of the federal poverty level (Arizona is currently at 100 percent), but that doesn’t go into effect until 2014.
