Democrats want to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies that millions rely on and undo health spending cuts from President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Warnock told Morning Edition that Georgians in rural areas have expressed concerns about losing access to health care. He said a small business owner told him she decided to close her business because paying for health insurance would be too expensive without ACA subsidies. The senator told NPR's Leila Fadel that the White House should "stop acting like these are pieces on a chessboard. These are people's lives."
"A lot of our research, including that for this grant, is looking at why so few people are getting evidence-based treatments for substance use disorder," said Huskamp, Henry J.

They reduce opioid use; they reduce overdose risk and other negative outcomes. These medications save lives."
