Governmental Affairs Agenda - Federal


 

There are several sites that are excellent for obtaining information on a federal level.


Key Issues From 2008 Legislative Agenda:

  • Oppose mandated healthcare benefits. Businesses must look to their specific operation styles to determine what they can afford in order to keep & retain quality team members.
  • Oppose continued cuts in funding to entitlement healthcare programs including TRICARE and Medicare particularly as healthcare providers in our Region will experience a substantial increase in the elderly & military populations over the next 5 years.
  • Oppose any legislation that would weaken Georgia's status as a right to work State.
