Care Crisis

In response to Representatives and U.S. Senate Candidates Buddy Carter and Mike Collins refusing to address the health care crisis they created, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson Maeve Coyle released the following statement:

“Thanks to Buddy Carter and Mike Collins, hundreds of thousands of Georgians are at risk of losing health care coverage, and Georgians’ health insurance costs are skyrocketing. In 2026, Georgians will hold Carter and Collins accountable for their toxic price-spiking agenda and the damage they have done.”
