How Governor Kemp's Proposed Medicaid Plans Stand To Impact Georgians

Georgia is currently ranked third among states with most uninsured
residents. More than 1.4 million Georgians were without insurance
in 2018. Governor Kemp announced the second of two healthcare
waiver proposals to increase coverage on Monday. If approved, the
waivers will allow the state of Georgia to remain compliant with
the Federal Affordable Care Act — making changes to the health
insurance market in the state without expanding Medicaid. Georgia
is currently one of 14 states that have chosen to not fully expand
Medicaid.
