Yesterday, I wrote a post about how AZ's delegation voted on Cheeto's budget bill, crafted to devastate society by taking from the poor and giving to the wealthy.
Summary: the R members supported the scheme; the Ds opposed it.
Today, I compared district size (based on number of registered voters) and the number of AHCCCS enrollees in that district (AHCCCS is the acronym for "Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System", which is what Medicaid is called in AZ) -
Voter registration figures are as of January 2025 and courtesy the Arizona Secretary of State.
AHCCCS enrollee figures are as of January 2025 and courtesy AHCCCS.

I wanted to include district median household income figures from the US Census Bureau, but while they indicate their data was from a couple of their 2023 surveys, they didn't put an actual date on the data, so I didn't use it here.
Member with the most registered voters in their district? Eli Crane of CD2.
Member with the most AHCCCS enrollees in their district? Yassamin Ansari of CD3.
Note: AHCCCS enrollees may NOT be registered voters. Many are too young to vote.
Member with the highest ratio of AHCCCS enrollees to registered voters in their district? Ansari.
Member with the lowest ratio? Andy Biggs of CD5.
Democrat with the highest ratio? Ansari.
Republican with highest ratio? Crane.
As promised, the pic from the AHCCCS report -
