Senate Study Committee on a Single-payer Healthcare Program; create

SR 344 is a Senate resolution creating a study committee to examine Georgia's potential transition to a single-payer healthcare system. The committee, composed of five Senate appointees and health agency commissioners, will study Georgia's current healthcare challenges - like the state's refusal to expand Medicaid, leaving ~300,000 Georgians uninsured - and evaluate options for a single-payer system. It will make recommendations by December 1, 2025, but will not enact any healthcare policy itself. This resolution is procedural, establishing a process for future legislative consideration, not a direct policy change affecting residents or providers.
