Donald Trump and Mike Collins passed the largest Medicaid cut in American history when 50 % of all births in Georgia are covered by Medicaid. 40 % of all kids in Georgia are covered by Medicaid. And listen to this, 70 % of Georgia seniors in nursing homes are are covered by Medicaid. Then they attacked the Affordable Care Act. And just as we warned, more than a million Georgians have seen their health insurance premiums double in the middle of a cost of living crisis. 300 ,000 Georgians have lost their insurance all together in just the last few months. I heard from a woman in her mid 50s who wait tables for a living who told me that she was losing her insurance in the middle of a cancer fight.
