Georgia’s girls’ sports debate, Medicaid expansion blocked and Trump’s tariffs

State Senator Kim Jackson has introduced Senate Bill 41, a measure she says would ensure real fairness in girls’ sports. On today’s episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy speak with the Stone Mountain Democrat about the details of the bill and what it could mean for student-athletes in Georgia.

Then, we turn to Georgia’s healthcare system. Governor Brian Kemp has ruled out Medicaid expansion, leaving hospitals and healthcare advocates searching for solutions. Caylee Noggle of the Georgia Hospital Association joins us to discuss what’s next for healthcare access in the state.

Finally, Georgians could soon feel the effects of President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on Chinese imports. AJC Business Editor Scott Trubey breaks down when and where consumers and businesses might experience the economic squeeze.
