Georgia Democrats balk at GOP bill that could delay bipartisan Medicaid expansion talks

State House Democrats continue to push back against a new GOP-backed bill that would further delay any possible deal on Medicaid expansion until after this year.  

Earlier in the legislative session, House Speaker Jon Burns had signaled he was open to learning more about a full possible expansion. 

Now with just days to go before a key General Assembly deadline when bills must cross over from one chamber to another in order to have a chance of final passage, Medicaid expansion’s chances seem to be fading.
