Please ask John to have a word with these Guys:
Georgia’s Health Care Insurance Axis of Evil:
1) Sen Ralph Hudgens
2) Rep Tom Knox
3) Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine:
1) Priced out of the Market?
2) Unable to purchase “Individual” Coverage during middle age or because you are female?
3) Can’t get coverage because of pre-existing conditions?

Welcome to Georgia John Edwards. The Georgia Press Corp has been so focused on Glenn Richardson's GREAT tax cut for the rich plan that they've left out a few details. We're here to fill the gaps. Enjoy your stay but you'd be well advised not to become a citizen of Georgia unless your networth is over a million or so.
And who sets the Ethics tone in Georgia?
Senator Eric Johnson
Republican
Georgia Senate President Pro Tempore
Committee Membership

Assignments
-Ethics

It's time to rein in the unregulated power of the Georgia Insurance Commissioner's Office.
The Office is more than adequately compensated by taxpayer dollars.
Welcome to the Red State.
