Early this morning, the U.S. House passed a budget proposal that would make the largest cuts to Medicaid in the program’s 60-year history and the most sweeping change to U.S. health policy since the Affordable Care Act. Although framed as “program integrity” and cost-saving measures, these provisions would restrict health coverage, squeeze state funding, and narrow benefits in ways that disproportionately harm Georgia’s most vulnerable communities. Georgia already has one of the nation’s highest uninsured rates (11.4% vs. 8% nationally), and about 2 million Georgians rely on Medicaid/CHIP. The current budget proposal is likely to result in 120,000 – 200,000 more uninsured Georgians, as they lose Medicaid coverage or private insurance through Georgia Access.
