The GOP Health Care Divide and Jason Esteves from the Politically Georgia Candidate Forum
Description
Hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy are joined by Georgia native and former congressional aide Brendan Buck to break down the politics of the ongoing government shutdown and why health care remains such a challenge for Republicans. Buck, who worked for former House Speakers Paul Ryan and John Boehner, explains the risks his party faces if it lets health insurance subsidies expire and why some conservatives now want to extend them. Then Politically Georgia’s Candidate Forum series continues with former state senator Jason Esteves, a Democratic candidate for governor, who talks about affordability, Medicaid expansion, and why he believes Georgia Democrats must offer voters something to vote for — not just against.
