Georgians for a Healthy Future is launching a new Caregiver Coalition, and we want you to be part of it.

Why Join the Caregiver Coalition?

Family caregivers play a critical role in supporting the health and well-being of Georgians. Whether you care for an adult or child with an intellectual or developmental disability, a physical disability, an aging family member, or someone with complex health needs, your experiences matter.

Medicaid, the federal health insurance program for low-income children and some adults under 65, is essential to the physical and financial health of Georgia families and the state as a whole.  Medicaid covers almost 2 million low-income Georgians (18% of the state’s population), serves as a crucial lifeline for Georgia’s rural hospitals. It also accounted for nearly 20% of the state’s total budget in 2023. 

However, D.C. politicians are currently considering overhauls to Medicaid that would limit the program’s ability to serve Georgians, dramatically reduce its efficiency and effectiveness, and make it more expensive for the state to operate.  

Ultimately,  if Congress cuts Medicaid, Georgia families will pay the price.
