Georgia Health Initiative

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

At Georgia Health Initiative, we're committed to our vision of a Georgia where all people can attain their fullest potential for health. And that includes mental health.

Health coverage is foundational: it facilitates access to health care services, provides financial protection against unexpected and high medical costs, and supports better health outcomes.

More than 1.2 million Georgians, however, lack health coverage, due in part to a coverage gap where people with incomes above the Medicaid eligibility limit but too low to qualify for subsidies in the Marketplace have no viable options for health coverage.

Our new report, “Closing the Coverage Gap: Policy Considerations for Public-Private Solutions to Expand Health Insurance in Georgia” is now available for download.
