The Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH) has submitted a waiver extension request for the Pathways to Coverage program. The proposed changes still leave thousands of Georgians uninsured and without an option for health coverage, including:
- People with chronic or serious health conditions who are unable to work;
- Parents of children aged 6-19, including those with disabilities; and
- Caregivers of children or adults with disabilities, and the elderly
Pathways has struggled to meet its goals of meaningfully increasing access to care for low-income Georgians, enrolling only 6,500 participants in a year and a half. That is just 3% of those who would benefit from full Medicaid expansion.
