Georgia’s Medicaid Crossroads, Part 2 📊

How many Georgians could be enrolled by 2029?

We modeled 3 illustrative scenarios: Georgia Pathways, H.R. 1 & full ACA expansion.

The numbers—and assumptions—matter.

@isaiahrmartin I hope she gets tortured with this clip endlessly…. She deserves it.

My message to Democrats: Now is not the time to celebrate, it is the time to work for people who are hurting. Latinos voted for immigration reform and if that is not made a priority, in 2028 you will lose the gains you made this election cycle.

Honoring our veterans means ensuring access to healthcare. A 2023 report estimated 14,000 Georgia veterans were uninsured, with Medicaid expansion potentially covering 1 in 5. As Georgia looks ahead, closing this coverage gap deserves attention. Our veterans served us. Let’s serve them. #medicaidexpansion

The 2025 reconciliation law’s Medicaid cuts target adults covered through ACA expansion, but the harms extend further. Children and indviduals who are pregnant or postpartum could also face coverage losses and reduced access to care: https://t.co/uF44QJ1kKG

🚨 Follow the Medicaid money in Georgia.

Georgia Pathways ties Medicaid coverage to work requirements.

Deloitte received $51M+ to manage it through 2024.

GAO found $54.2M spent on administration vs. $26.1M on medical care through March 2025.

Are we funding healthcare or bureaucracy? 📊

Unfortunately, Nebraska isn’t the first state where Medicaid work requirements have disrupted access to care. Arkansas saw more than 18,000 people lose coverage in 2018, with widespread confusion over reporting requirements. Georgia’s Pathways program has also demonstrated the administrative barriers these policies can create. The lesson is clear: paperwork and compliance requirements can become barriers to lifesaving care, even for people who qualify. We cannot keep repeating these mistakes.

@AlexThomp Respectfully, we don’t think he has what it takes. 🤷‍♀️
