Health care costs are part of an ongoing debate shaping the country’s political landscape. This year, the government had its longest shutdown in modern history over the issue.
And with Congress failing to extend Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies, more than one in 10 Georgians could see their premiums spike.
On Tuesday’s episode of the “Politically Georgia” podcast Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporters Tia Mitchell and Greg Bluestein discuss how the debate will be front and center at Georgia’s midterms.
They start on the federal level, explaining how the battle over health care halted the U.S. government back in October.
The duo then describes how unlikely members of Georgia’s delegation came to the same side of the issues.
Then, they discuss the possibility of expanding access to Medicaid in Georgia on the state level and how the issue could sway votes in the race for governor.
