Medicaid Expansion
Georgia STAND-UP champions Medicaid expansion, engaging leaders and educating communities to ensure that all low-income earners have equitable access to vital health care coverage.
Securing Affordable Healthcare
Georgia STAND-UP is committed to ensuring that every Georgian, regardless of income, has access to quality, comprehensive health care. However, the Medicaid Redetermination process has challenged this goal. In Georgia alone, over half a million people have lost access to health coverage due to this process, with a sizable portion of those affected belonging to Black and Latinx populations.

These strategies include:
-
Meeting with elected officials, state, and federal agency leaders to develop strategies in response to Medicaid Eligibility Redetermination issues.
-
Educating low-income earners about ways to secure Medicaid or other insurance coverage options.
-
Advocating by educating elected officials regarding how lives are impacted when low-income earners have access to health care.
