Act Fast: Sign the petition to urge state leaders to
Close the Coverage Gap!
|
|
| While state leaders study how to improve access to care for low-income and uninsured Georgians, thousands of our fellow residents remain trapped in the coverage gap, unable to get the health care they need. The Cover Georgia coalition believes we can’t wait any longer for Medicaid expansion, and we need your help to amplify our voices.
You still have the opportunity to sign and share the petition created by Cover Georgia.
By supporting the call to close the gap—and telling us about your experiences of being uninsured—you help us tell state leaders why closing the coverage gap is the best way to support low-income and uninsured Georgians. Tell us, so we can tell them!
Take action today! Show your support, share your story, and let our state leaders know that Georgia can’t wait any longer for affordable health coverage. |
