Neither campaign responded to our questionnaire, and we could not find responses to all of our questions on the candidates' websites. These are the additional questions we believe any candidate seeking this role should have responses to:
Recently, we learned that former insurance commissioner John Oxendine was indicted on federal healthcare fraud and money laundering charges. What would you like to say to reassure Georgians that you will be ethical and trustworthy enough to fill this position?
An estimated 1.4 million Georgians do not have health insurance, making our uninsured rate the third highest in the country. Lack of health insurance means that patients will delay seeking care and be saddled with large, out-of-pocket bills when they do see a doctor. Do you believe this office has a role in addressing this coverage gap? If so, what policies do you support?
Do you support Medicaid expansion in Georgia, and if so, how will you work towards this goal as the Insurance Commissioner?
How do you plan to ensure that insurance companies cover necessary medical treatment and charge fair premiums?
How will you address surprise medical billing in Georgia?
Note: We welcome any responses from candidates who did not previously answer our questionnaire request.
