Press release from the issuing company

For Republican primary voters, a major question next year regarding Georgia’s U.S. Senate race will be which candidate’s approach to Obamacare makes the most sense.
That’s because a debate is raging among most of the declared Senate candidates over how best to rid Americans of what they consider the flaws of the Affordable Care Act, a national health care law dubbed “Obamacare” in reference to President Barack Obama.
Rep. Jack Kingston of Savannah has been attacked by Rep. Paul Broun of Watkinsville over legislation Kingston is sponsoring that would require the president and his appointees be covered by the law and that exemptions for small businesses apply to those with up to 500 employees, the cutoff point for the Small Business Administration as compared to the 50-worker threshold in the Affordable Care Act.
Broun, who is a physician, says Kingston’s bill amounts to a sellout.
