The average Georgian who purchases health insurance on Georgia Access will see their premiums DOUBLE next year.
We can fix this by extending tax credits. Yet Republicans would rather shut down the government instead. Why?

Ah, yes, the corruption. Good thing our tax dollars are being spent so wisely by Republicans, those stalwarts of fiscal responsibility.
Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a $20 billion package to rescue the Argentinian economy.
Too bad that it's basically a gift for one hedge fund manager with ties to Bessent himself.

Trump’s spoiling the summer vacation for tens of thousands of school kids and teachers with a last minute (as like July 1) freezing $7 billion for after-school programs, teacher training and OMG! education for migrant students. I’d say Grinch but it’s six months too early and too good for him.

In Trinity Texas, 90 miles north of Houston, Midcoast Medical Center recently had to close its doors.
The closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates from elderly patients' Medicare and Medicaid coverage, which made up most of its budget.
