ATLANTA – Georgia health-care advocates are expressing disappointment in the low enrollment numbers being reported for the limited Medicaid expansion program the state launched in July.
The state Department of Community Health predicted the Georgia Pathways to Coverage program would eventually serve up to 345,000 Georgians, including an estimated 100,000 during its first year. However, the agency reported this week that only about 1,300 have signed up for coverage.
