Geoff Duncan on Health Care

 

 


We must expand Medicaid, there is no other option

We must expand Medicaid, there is no other option. Too many Georgians are faced with the impossible choice of going into lifelong debt or ignoring their health issues because they do not have access to insurance. As governor, I will work to expand Medicaid and strengthen Georgians access to private healthcare when needed.
