If passed Proposition 106 would amend the Arizona Constitution to prohibit any law from compelling any person, employer or health care provider to participate in any health care system, allow a person or employer to pay directly for lawful health care services without being penalized or fined, and allow a health care provider to accept direct payment for lawful health care services without being penalized or fined.
Advocates of Proposition 106 say that:
- "You will have A CHOICE in deciding what you want for insurance, your health, your families health."
- "The Arizona Health Care Freedom Act ensures that patients and families will remain at the center of health care reform - and that our needs and concerns be addressed first, before lobbyists for the health insurance industry and Washington power brokers."
- "In a free society, people should not be forced to participate in a health insurance plan they do not want."
- "We can pass the Arizona Health Care Freedom Act. It is simple and has no cost estimates that will have to be revisited and raised. It has no cost."
- "Right now Arizona has the fourth highest percentage of uninsured children in the nation. PROP 106 moves Arizona backwards and away from providing quality, affordable health care to our children."
- "Citizens need freedom from health care catastrophe, and they need choices for their health care that are available, universal and affordable."
- "Should this pass, Arizona citizens would vote away their right to participate in any comprehensive, universal healthcare system such as Improved and Expanded Medicare For All."
- "Proposition 106 will cost Arizona Taxpayers money that we cannot afford during this difficult time."
