Healthcare hot topic

When U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson addressed Dougherty County Rotarians, you can guess what topic he led with, healthcare.

The current healthcare system covers 86 percent of Americans.  Isakson says when the Senate returns from recess next week, the healthcare debate will continue. 

He doesn’t believe the current healthcare bill will be passed.

““You don’t want to destroy the system you have that serves 86 percent of the public because 14 percent of the public either doesn’t have or chooses not to buy insurance.  There are ways to deal with the uninsured to make accessibility and affordability more within their reach,” said Sen. Isakson.”
