#AZ01 Dave Schweikert (R): Trump won by just 3.1%! ✅ ~48,000 #ACA exchange enrollees are at risk ~39,000 Medicaid expansion* enrollees are at risk *(aka "AHCCCS" or "Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System" which is perhaps the most awkward name for a Medicaid program I've seen)

For all those fighting the good fight against the rising oligarchy, and for those like me whose families care very personally about Medicaid (oh, yes, and all the rest)
