The House did the right thing by extending ACA subsidies and stopping health care costs from exploding for 20 million Americans. The Senate must pass it next.

Breaking news: More than a dozen House Republicans joined every Democrat to pass a bill extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years — the sharpest GOP break with party leadership yet.
House passes bill extending health care subsidies, bucking GOP leaders

This is a life or death question for many Georgians. This is whether or not Georgians have and can afford health insurance. There's little more fundamental than that, and that is why I am ramping up the pressure on my opponents to change their position.

These arrests show that, amid the conservative movement to enshrine rights to fetuses, being pregnant is not just a health status. Sometimes, it’s a criminal liability.
