A new study released this week by Georgia State University found that, in sheer numbers, only California, Texas, New York, and Florida have more uninsured people than Georgia. That’s right: we rank 5th in the total number of uninsured, but 9th in total population. Comprehensive health reform would provide affordable avenues to coverage for the vast majority of our state’s 1.67 million uninsured. Let’s get it done.
More than 1.6 million Georgians are uninsured.
Health insurance premiums grew 6.4x faster than earnings over the past decade.
Georgia’s infant mortality rate is among the worst in the nation.
Georgia ranks in the bottom quartile of states on overall quality.
More than 1 million Georgians don't see a doctor due to the cost.
Millions of Georgians are at least two hours away from trauma care.
