A handful of rural Georgia Republicans are joining forces with Democrats to give full Medicaid expansion another try, citing the economic and health benefits it could bring to struggling communities. Expanding Medicaid would provide health coverage to hundreds of thousands of low-income Georgians while injecting billions in federal funding into the state's economy and shoring up struggling rural hospitals. Rural Georgia stands to gain immensely from expanding Medicaid eligibility, drawing down federal dollars to create jobs, boost local economies, and ensure residents have access to lifesaving care. I urge you to support this bipartisan effort to finally expand Medicaid in our state.
