Health Care
Congressman Johnson is committed to ensuring that every American has access to affordable, quality health care. Throughout his career, he has championed legislation to expand access to health services, protect public health, and uphold consumer protections. He has consistently advocated for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which expanded Medicaid, provided coverage for young adults, and capped lifetime health benefits limits, bringing critical resources to Georgians. The ACA has funded millions in grants for maternal and child health, school-based health centers, and family health information services across Georgia. Congressman Johnson also supports efforts to combat PFAS contamination, protect vulnerable communities for parasitic diseases, and pursue additional funding for Georgia's PeachCare program. Looking ahead, he will continue to advocate for a public health insurance option, push for greater consumer protections, and support increased investments in health care research.
