Since I have been working these 5 weeks on Federal Issues I haven't had much time to look at individual State issues, even in Arizona. But there is some good information on the ACOG website that I wanted to bring to your attention. Go to ACOG, click on Advocacy and select State Legislative Issues. There are some great talking points on issues such as emergency contraception, contraceptive equity, medical liability reform, and abortion.
Also, h is a great report I found while browsing through some conference materials. It's called premiums vs. paychecks and it shows what families are typically paying for health care premiums in each state. For example, premiums rose 3.5 times faster than median earnings in the state of Arizona, and 5 times faster in the state of Kansas.
Here's the link:

You can substitute another name in for the state if you want to look at a different state. This is from the FamiliesUSA organization.
