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.

🇺🇸 This Veterans Day, remember: @urbaninstitute researchers projected that 400,000 veterans under 65 would be uninsured in 2024. Of those, 52.3% lived in states that hadn’t expanded Medicaid, including Georgia. Although the data is slightly outdated, it still matters.
We can do better for those who served. @BlueGeorgia #medicaidexpansion

A changing political map could mean a changing healthcare landscape.
With Democratic governors poised to represent more than 75% of Americans, the implications for Medicaid policy could be significant.
🏥 Medicaid expansion
💰 Healthcare affordability
📋 Coverage protections
🏛️ State healthcare investments
Governors have tremendous influence over how Medicaid operates, who gets covered, and where healthcare dollars go.
The real question: Will this political shift translate into meaningful healthcare reform and better access to care?

JUST IN🚨: Mexico just went universal. 120 Million citizens now get free healthcare - no premium, no copays, no requirements.
📊 $50B over 5 years! The Rural Health Transformation Program is reshaping rural healthcare investment.
Our 50-state FY 2026–27 comparison shows funding shifts. With changes at the state and federal levels, it’ll be interesting to see how future allocations evolve.

Georgia’s Medicaid Crossroads: The Cost of Change 💰
☕️Gov.-elect Bottoms inherits shrinking reserves, a ~$1B revenue shortfall, and major Medicaid decisions.
Our illustrative model estimates $233M–$354M in annual state medical costs for expansion (2027–2029).
But that’s only part of the picture. 🧵👇

@KeishaForGA Medicaid expansion IS possible, but the fiscal picture matters. Beyond the projected state share, Georgia faces H.R. 1 implementation costs, Pathways uncertainty, and potential savings.
📊 We’re putting the numbers on the table with our illustrative model to help you understand the fiscal landscape you’re walking into. You’ve got this! ✨

This Sunday at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Governor-Elect Keisha Lance Bottoms shared that when God called her to run for office, she listened. And on November 3, Georgians elected her to move Georgia forward.
Thank you to Reverend @SenatorWarnock for a powerful sermon and to the Ebenezer family for such a warm welcome.
Georgia isn’t starting from scratch on work requirements.
Pathways already has verification systems, but H.R. 1 requires alignment with new federal rules.
Additional IT, staffing and compliance costs remain uncertain, as do potential savings from expansion.

real fiscal question:
What would Georgia spend on full Medicaid expansion AFTER federal funding, administrative costs and potential savings—while navigating H.R. 1 and Pathways uncertainty?
That’s the analysis policymakers need.
