If we expand using a private option (see Arkansas)... 1) Those 700K keep their marketplace plans 2) Those 290K uninsured gain access to healthcare coverage w/o conditions 3) GA unlocks billions in federal funds and strengthens the healthcare system gbpi.org/wp-content/upl… 4/
Pathways to Coverage does not qualify for the lucrative federal financial incentives offered under ACA and ARPA - like the 90% match on newly eligible enrollees and the additional two-year match on existing enrollees that translates to an over $1 billion signing bonus. 3/
About 290K Georgians earning less than 100% are uninsured. They don't qualify for traditional Medicaid or for the marketplace tax credits. Less than 4,000 of them are enrolled in Pathways to Coverage--about 1% of who is potentially eligible. georgiapathways.org 2/
Lots of facts and figures being thrown around. Let's walk through them... Over 700K Georgians earning 100-138% FPL enrolled in ACA marketplace plans - thanks in large part to federal tax credits that lower or eliminate premiums. 1/ #gapol @GaBudget
UPDATE! HB 1010 signed was signed into law! State and public school employees now have 6 weeks of paid parental leave. Thank you again to our advocates who pushed for HB 1010 to become law! #HB1010 #PaidleaveforallGA #gapol
Gov Kemp’s signing of SB 362 is a loss for all Georgians today. A clear message that GA supports limiting workers to secret ballot election processes often used by bad actor employers to intimidate/derail/deter worker organizing efforts that could improve job quality. #GAPol
The Georgia Budget and Policy Institute is deeply disappointed by the signing of SB 233, a voucher bill that will divert crucial public money away from public K-12 schools. Read our statement here: gbpi.org/gbpis-statemen… #gapol @BlancoBlau
Georgia has an over-reliance on fines and fees and devices like speed cameras erroneously cause more tickets. These tickets have an outsized impact on those struggling to make ends meet. Article: FOX 5 investigation finds another 6K erroneous tickets fox5atlanta.com/news/speed-cam…
Today is Policy Day of Black Maternal Health Week, so let’s talk about a few policies we should implement to improve maternal health care for Black pregnant people. Here’s a to-do list for policymakers on this year’s BMHW: (1/4) 🧵
Here’s Sunday night’s story on why millions of people have been kicked off of Medicaid, what you can do to stay informed, and, of course, some stuff Jim Cramer was wrong about. youtu.be/bVIsnOfNfCo
GA officials again reported decreased net tax collections, though overall, the state's finances appear to be strong. Our own @DannyKanso was recently interviewed by The Center Square: bit.ly/3JmOWcA
Happy Tax Day! If you have a low-to-middle income did you know that you could see more returns on your Georgia state taxes if Georgia enacted an earned income tax credit or child tax credit? Read the report here: bit.ly/3U281FN
Many people qualified for health care in Georgia are losing it because of paperwork. bit.ly/4auzdE2
It's tax day! It may not be everyone's favorite day but it is how we fund schools, roads, parks, social security and so much more!
#OTD in 1968, the landmark Fair Housing Act was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson, who proclaimed “…fair housing for all — all human beings who live in this country — is now a part of the American way of life.” #FairHousingMonth bit.ly/3U0Lev6
April is National Fair Housing Month! We must continue advocating for stable, affordable housing that is universally available to those in need.

Getting quality care can be difficult, as Cassenda's story illustrates. Georgia's lawmakers must grasp the realities that Georgians are facing daily. Your experience matters. share your story with us:healthyfuturega.org/tell-your-heal… #ShareYourStoryTuesday
Lawmakers agreed to allocate $205 million in the state budget to student transportation, more than doubling the annual funding. The news is a major — and long overdue— victory for schools and parents across Georgia. Details from @journalistajill ⬇️ #gapol stateaffairs.com/georgia/educat…
"We can no longer ignore the financial benefits from closing the coverage gap; we can no longer ignore the mounting pressure that many communities are feeling as hospitals close and more people fall into the coverage gap." @CLeahChan on GA's coverage gap: to.pbs.org/3vUtTL0

GA has record-low unemployment, low UI benefit claim levels, and continued growth in its labor force & filled jobs. While THIS is the period when GA’s UI Trust Fund reserves should steadily rise to prep for future recessions..lawmakers keep suppressing its growth. #StateJobsDay
@GaBudget As expert @KhalfaniRay knows, other states that have closed the coverage gap have seen decreases in state spending on correctional healthcare & decreases in arrests, as fewer individuals in crisis interact with the criminal-legal system and get access to what they need to thrive

Majestic Preparatory Academy (Lawrenceville, est. 2019). Another school that has not earned accreditation. According to Niche they have 11 students. In 2022, 7 of them were using a private school voucher. It's hard to imagine this school existing without the state propping it up.
