Tell Georgia: Stop Wasting Medicaid Dollars

Georgia’s “Pathways to Coverage” program is burning through taxpayer dollars—and leaving people without healthcare. Trump Republicans want it to be the blueprint for the nation.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s work-requirement plan has spent over $100 million to enroll fewer than 3,000 people. Meanwhile, more than 350,000 Georgians remain uninsured. That’s government waste, plain and simple.

We need to end Georgia’s failed experiment now, before it spreads to other states.

Tell Governor Kemp and Georgia legislators: “End Medicaid waste. Cancel the wasteful Georgia Pathways to Coverage Program and fund healthcare—not consultants.”

A new federal Government Accountability Office report showed the rest of us what Georgians already know: adding bureaucracy and work requirements to Medicaid costs more and delivers less. 

Millions have gone to private consultants like Deloitte instead of to hospitals and patients. Yet despite this failure, the state just got approval to extend the wasteful program through 2028.

This isn’t fiscal conservatism—it’s fiscal negligence and incompetence. Every day Georgia refuses full Medicaid expansion, rural hospitals edge closer to closure, working families struggle to afford medicine, and the state throws away money that could save lives. Expanding Medicaid the right way would cost less, cover more, and bring billions in federal dollars into Georgia’s healthcare system.

We can’t afford to see national Republicans expand this waste beyond Georgia. It must end now. 

Tell Governor Brian Kemp and the Georgia General Assembly: Stop wasting taxpayer money on red tape and failed experiments. Expand Medicaid now and give Georgians the healthcare security we’ve already paid for.

The petition to Governor Kemp and Georgia legislators reads: “End Medicaid waste. Cancel the wasteful Georgia Pathways to Coverage Program and fund healthcare—not consultants.”
