Senator Ossoff ties government shutdown to ACA subsidy extension, warning 340,000 Georgians could lose coverage.
Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff is linking the ongoing federal government shutdown to his push for extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, warning that without them, up to 340,000 Georgians could lose health coverage due to steep premium increases.
With Georgia one of 10 states that did not expand Medicaid, many residents rely on marketplace plans, making them especially vulnerable.
Ossoff is using personal stories, like that of hospital patient Himali Patel, to highlight the human impact.
Republican challengers blame him and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer for the shutdown, calling it the “Schumer-Ossoff shutdown,” but offer no clear alternative to maintain affordable coverage.
Experts say fixing the issue for 2026 is unlikely due to timing.
