As a candidate in 2014, Ducey wrote a 10-point pledge to the people of Arizona. Eight years and two terms later, The Republic reviews the outcome.
$13 billion. Arizona's estimated population: 7.1 million.To protect the health, privacy, and freedom of Arizonans, I will: Support all efforts by our congressional delegation to repeal and replace Obamacare.In late 2017, after reviewing one version of a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, the governor said"the bill on the table clearly isn't the right approach for Arizona." He ultimately supported a so-called"skinny repeal," that Sen.
In addition, I will personally pursue every available means to negotiate a Medicaid waiver for Arizona, allowing us to take care of people who genuinely need help without turning it into a vast and unaffordable new entitlement.Ducey talked during his first campaign about negotiating a waiver to allow the state to operate its Medicaid program — called the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment system — outside federal mandates.
In his first term, Ducey pushed for changes to teacher certification that allowed people without formal training to lead classrooms, drawing criticism that doing so shortchanged students. In multiple annual budgets, Ducey championed results-based funding programs, which gives more money to schools with higher performance.
In Ducey's first year, he called on the State Board of Education to review standards based on Common Core, saying he was against them. The board eventually altered standards, though Common Core critics said they were basically the same standards with a different name. Child safety was a major topic when Ducey entered the Governor's Office, as a massive backlog of child-welfare cases mounted and the number of children in foster care had reached a crisis level. Ducey quickly fired the head of the Department of Child Safety.
