Listen to this. If you are born today in the state of Georgia, your life expectancy is shorter than if you were born today in Lebanon. A country whose national economy is 40 times smaller than our state's economy, but they're living longer than we are. We can pick up and launch wars of choice over and over again on the other side of the planet, but instead of building new hospitals and clinics to serve patients and communities, here in Georgia we're shutting them down.
