ATLANTA â Democrats in the Republican-controlled General Assembly are asking GOP Gov. Brian Kemp to add Medicaid expansion to the legislatureâs upcoming redistricting special session. A letter dated Tuesday signed by 67 Democratic members of the Georgia House and Senate called the need for legislative action to expand Medicaid coverage âurgent.â âThis governor has made it clear he wants to expand the scope of the session beyond redistricting,â said Rep. Matthew Wilson, D-Brookhaven, the chief signatory to the letter, referring to Kempâs announcement last week that he will add tackling the recent rise in violent crime to the special session agenda. âIf weâre going to include other items in the special session, Medicaid expansion must be a top priority.â
