ATLANTA – Today, Georgians for a Healthy Future (GHF) is urging Georgians who purchase insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to take action before the fast-approaching December 15th deadline to enroll in health insurance through Georgia’s new health insurance marketplace, Georgia Access. It is estimated that more than 1.3 million Georgians are currently enrolled in coverage through healthcare.gov, but in 2025, Georgians will enroll and maintain their coverage through georgiaaccess.gov.
Those who enroll by December 15th will have coverage beginning New Year’s Day. Those who miss the December deadline will face a delay, with coverage starting in February, instead of January 1st.
“The clock is ticking for Georgians to secure their health coverage for the new year,” said Laura Colbert, Executive Director of Georgians for a Healthy Future. “The December 15th deadline is more than just a date. It’s an opportunity to protect your health and financial security for the new year. Missing it means risking a month without coverage and leaving yourself unprotected against unexpected medical expenses. Take action today to ensure you start the year with peace of mind and the care you need.”
