Today our Executive Director joined HEAL Collaborative on the Hill to advocate for a more transparent 340B drug pricing program. We are grateful to representatives in Congress who support the 340B ACCESS Act — a needed step toward more accountability & transparency in the 340B program.

Yesterday, our ED attended the Georgia House of Representatives Blue-Ribbon Study Committee on Election Procedures. Democracy defense & election integrity is a key focus for our team. That's why we strongly encourage this committee to consider the 90-day blackout on rule-making prior to an election.

We should be throwing a party for 60 years of Medicaid—not holding a vigil. Cutting healthcare for millions isn’t a celebration. It’s a crisis. And it threatens the health of Georgia's people and economy.

Today, our ED is on the Hill speaking to Senate Republicans about why proposed changes to Medicaid are fiscally irresponsible. With low enrollment and extremely high administrative costs, Georgia’s failed work reporting requirements experiment should be a warning to other states. #gapol

The changes to Medicaid being considered in Congress are going too far, too fast. We need our lawmakers in the Senate to slow down — the consequences are too dangerous. All Georgians — not just those who will lose healthcare coverage — will be impacted financially.

The cuts to Medicaid being considered in the Senate are going too far, too fast, threatening access to healthcare coverage for Georgia’s most vulnerable communities. We urge our federal lawmakers to consider the impacts of Medicaid cuts — the stakes are too high.
