PoliticusUSA:... I believe this transfer of wealth is going to hurt Georgia as numerous studies by Kaiser, the University of Georgia, and Georgia State have pointed out. Our stance is hurting our state, but we’re not lowering the federal deficit. I just don’t believe that it’s consistent, after sending the Medicaid Financing Act last year to the Department of Community Health and the executive branch – that we now want to take control of Medicaid expansion, as we go into recess for the rest of the year, without a single hearing on Medicaid expansion in the last two years…. I am concerned that my party is going to lose thousands of health care workers and independent voters over this. The majority of Georgians do oppose Obamacare, but six out of 10 believe we ought to expand Medicaid. There is a difference between the two. *THIS is what Ive been referring to in several posts. GA lawmakers say they dont like Obamacare, but theyve made zero moves to write/pass a bill which would provide health insurance for thousands of Georgians. They cant pass a medical marijuana bill or a bill to help uninsured Georgians, but boy, can they come together to pass a new gun bill that we dont really need!
