🍼 Georgia’s youngest children deserve continuous Medicaid coverage In a new op-ed for the Georgia Recorder, Callan Wells, senior health policy manager at GEEARS: Georgia Early Education Alliance for Ready Students, makes the case for a Medicaid waiver that guarantees continuous coverage for children from birth to age 3. The earliest years of life are critical for brain development, and stable access to care ensures little ones get the routine checkups, immunizations, developmental screenings, and early interventions they need to thrive. Continuous coverage also reduces the strain on state agencies by cutting down on unnecessary paperwork.

🎉 Progress and Possibilities! Join Georgians for a Healthy Future for an inspiring evening where we honor the progress we've made in health advocacy and policy—and spark ideas for the possibilities ahead! Together, we're building a healthier Georgia—one step at a time. Progress Highlight: In 2024, Georgia took a historic step by holding its first legislative hearing on Medicaid expansion, a direct move to address the coverage gap. This hearing prompted the formation of a Comprehensive Health Coverage Commission, charged with enhancing health access and quality care for the state's low-income and uninsured residents. GHF proudly collaborated with state leaders and partners, championing this progress and building a strong foundation for possibilities ahead. Join us as we celebrate these milestones and fuel the work ahead at Celebration of Progress & Possibilities 2025! 📅 Thursday, September 11, 2025 @ 7 PM 📍 Bona Fide Deluxe, Atlanta, GA ✨ Attendance is free, and if you're able, a suggested donation of $20 or more helps us keep the momentum going across Georgia. 🔗 Celebrate and support: https://healthyfuturega.org/ghf_event/celebration-of-progress-possibilities-2025/

📈 Georgia Among States with Highest Proposed ACA Premium Increases Reported by the AJC: Georgia is on track to see some of the largest health insurance price hikes on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchange next year, according to a preliminary analysis by The Wall Street Journal and health research group KFF. Enrollment in Georgia’s ACA plans, known as Georgia Access, has more than tripled in recent years to 1.5 million. A spokesperson for Insurance Commissioner John King said the office is in close conversation with insurance carriers and members of Congress to provide Georgians with a stable marketplace and access to affordable, quality private health coverage.
