🎉 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 health care providers and advocates are bracing for the impact that the federal budget reconciliation bill reconciliation bill will have on health care access throughout the state over the next decade. The bill’s sweeping Medicaid cuts are expected to reduce federal health care funding in Georgia by $2.29 billion, according to data from the nonprofit health policy research organization KFF. Because Georgia hasn't expanded Medicaid, low-income Georgians relying on Georgia Access will be hit hardest — facing rising premiums and fewer care options. 🗣️ “Those folks are going to feel the pain...,” says Whitney Griggs, Health Policy Director at GHF.
