Georgia's ACA enrollment plummet: how that's a bad look for Kemp and a Democrat

New data obtained by The Current and Georgia Recorder (thanks to a FOIA request) shows Affordable Care Act enrollment in Georgia slumped by more than one-third at the start of 2026, on the heels of pandemic-era enhanced subsidies going away (remember the government shutdown last fall?). With outgoing Governor Brian Kemp thinking 2028 might be fertile territory for him to tout his era of governance, this won't age well; but it's not just a bad look for "Brine." It's also a potential sore spot for the former GOP Lieutenant Governor now running to be governor - as a Democrat.Geoff Duncan has made a compelling case that he's sacrificed a lot, and suffered mightily personally, from his ideological transformation, and has bravely said - on many occasions - "I was wrong," but that doesn't stop pundits and his primary adversaries from reminding voters where he stood on Medicaid expansion, gun control, reproductive rights (to name a few). With rural Georgia hospitals set to see $3.5 billion less in revenue, moving forward, how might his former role find him in a tough spot in culpability?
