Policy Memo: While more Georgians have gained health coverage in recent months, these gains are largely the result of changes implemented by federal decision-makers as opposed to stemming from any actions taken by state decision-makers. Around 290,000 Georgians remain uninsured because they do not qualify for Medicaid or affordable health coverage through the health insurance marketplace. Without health insurance, these Georgians go without meaningful access to health care, even when they are sick. These Georgians are likely to remain uninsured and Georgia is likely to retain its ranking for 3rd highest uninsurance rates until state leaders close the coverage gap by expanding public or no-cost private coverage to adults with incomes from 0-138% FPL (without burdensome reporting requirements).
