💡 Did you know? Health coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been more affordable in recent years thanks to extra savings that lower premiums for Georgia families. But unless Congress acts, those savings will end after 2025 — and the consequences will be devastating ⬇️ 📊 What’s at stake: Over 1.5 million Georgians rely on these savings to afford coverage. 95% of Georgia Access enrollees receive help lowering monthly premiums. Premiums could jump 75% or more, forcing 340,000 Georgians to lose coverage. 💸 That means: A single person earning $30,000 could pay $1,350 more each year. A 60-year-old couple making $85,000 would pay $18,000 more annually. 🚨 We can’t let this happen. Congress must act now to protect Georgia families from devastating cost increases and keep health coverage affordable.
