Jan Brewer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




Early life


Brewer was born in Hollywood, California to Perry and Edna Drinkwine. Her father died of lung disease when she was eleven years old. She married John Brewer and worked in Glendale, California before moving to his hometown of Phoenix, Arizona in 1970. They later moved to Glendale, Arizona where he became a successful chiropractor and found success in real estate as well. She gave birth to three sons, one of whom died from cancer in 2007. ....


Immigration and Border Security


Governor Brewer signed Arizona SB1070 into law in 2010, making it "a state crime for illegal immigrants to not have an alien registration document", and requiring police "to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants."<7>. The bill passed was signed into law on April 23, 2010. ....


LGBT Issues


Jan Brewer redacted legislation put into place by the former governor Janet Napolitano<11> that entitled gay employees of the state and others the ability to be determined as "dependents," similar to the way married spouses are handled.<12> This is expected to help alleviate the budget crisis by $3 million, but has drawn fire from some LGBT activists. According to the Arizona Republic and the Arizona Daily Star, it costs the state $3 million to cover domestic partners and $625 million for other employees and their dependents.



Healthcare

S-CHIP in Arizona is known as "KidsCare." By enacting the 2011 budget, Brewer and the legislature have eliminated the Arizona variant of the State Children's Health Insurance Program program that provides health insurance to uninsured children<14> whose families do not make little enough to qualify for Medicaid.<15>. According to the FY 2011 budget, enrollment caps will also be put into place for AHCCCS, thereby limiting access to the insurance program for the needy. An estimated 310,000 Arizonans will be kicked off the program per the budget Jan Brewer has signed into law.<16>


Reaction to Federal Health Care Bill Mandates


Brewer has responded to the recent passing of health care bill in the US Congress by calling upon a special state legislative session to join in the class-action lawsuit by thirteen state Attorneys Generals to challenge the constitutionality of the federal mandate to purchase health insurance. ....
