Health Care Agenda
  • Encourage the adoption of consumer-based health care plans so that traditional market forces can influence the cost of medical services as they now influence and control the cost of virtually all other commodities
  • Ensure that the consumer has ready access to medical cost and efficacy information
  • Examine the role of medical liability in the cost and availability of medical care in Georgia
  • Efficiently spend Medicaid dollars
  • Establish a safety net for uninsurable Georgians
