Combined, Senate Bills 476 and 477 would leave an estimated deficit of more than $6 Billion per year in Georgia - this is more the state spends on Medicaid, this is more than the state spends on Higher Education. This would put programs Georgia relies on at risk.

Some recent Republican responses to the marketplace premium tax credit issue would shift more people to bronze plans with Health Savings Accounts as an alternative to silver plans with PTC enhancements and cost sharing reductions. So how do these plans stack up in real terms?
