Medicaid Covers US in Georgia

Medicaid Covers US is our campaign to promote Medicaid as one part of the solution to achieve health equity in the US. Health coverage is something we all need, and we all deserve. It’s time to close the gap.

More than 473,000 Georgians are living without health insurance simply because our leaders have refused to expand Medicaid. These folks are in the “Coverage Gap,” living sicker and dying younger than those with health insurance. The majority of people living in that gap are people of color, left behind because leaders in those states are putting politics ahead of people. Medicaid Covers US is our campaign to promote Medicaid as one part of the solution to achieve health equity in the US. Health coverage is something we all need, and we all deserve. It’s time to close the gap.
