The Issues:
Ensuring Access to Quality Care: low-income individuals and families in Georgia should have access to health insurance coverage through state Medicaid programs. We need full Medicaid expansion in our state so low-income parents and adults can have comprehensive and affordable health insurance coverage.
Reducing the Toll of Tobacco: we need local jurisdictions to have the authority to pass stronger regulations than the state on issues related to tobacco control and other matters impacting the public’s health. Stand up to Big Tobacco!
