Stacey Abrams vows 'concerted effort' to push Nathan Deal on Medicaid

Stacey Abrams vows 'concerted effort' to push Nathan Deal on Medicaid

By Daniel Malloy


WASHINGTON -- In a conference call organized by the White House to sing the Affordable Care Act's praises in Georgia, state House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams said there will be a wide-ranging effort this year to cajole Gov. Nathan Deal into expanding Medicaid.

This will come in part by making sure everyone knows that it's solely Deal's decision.
Said Abrams:

"The most important thing we can do is raise awareness and make sure our constituents understand who has the decision-making power. ... I do think there will be a concerted effort not just among the political class but citizen and community groups."
