Georgians for a Healthy Future

 Getting Georgia Covered

GHF's Spring Fundraiser | May 13–19, 2026

When Georgia's customer service doesn't answer, we do.

Over the last few years, the health coverage landscape in Georgia has shifted under families' feet. 500,000 Georgians moved off Medicaid during the unwinding. 2026 marketplace premiums rose 114 percent on average after enhanced subsidies expired. More than 190,000 Georgians have already dropped their coverage because they couldn't afford it. And state funding for navigator programs — the trained helpers Georgians used to be able to call — has been cut.

Through all of it, Georgians for a Healthy Future has stayed on the line.

What your gift supports

GHF is one of only a few organizations in Georgia that helps people navigate both Medicaid and the Georgia Access marketplace. Our enrollment assisters answer calls, explain options in plain language, and walk families through complicated systems step by step. After someone gets covered, we take what we learn from their experience and turn it into advocacy for a better, more affordable system.

In 2025 alone, GHF:

• Reached more than 8,000 Georgians with clear, unbiased information about their coverage options
• Helped 125 households enroll in Medicaid or marketplace coverage
• Provided personalized support to 375+ individuals with questions about their coverage or referrals to free and low-cost services

Where your dollars go

• $25 answers a call from someone who needs guidance
• $50 helps a family compare plans and find savings
• $150 helps someone complete their enrollment and get covered

A gift at any level helps make sure the next Georgian who picks up the phone reaches a real person on the other end.

Why this campaign, why now

Premiums are up. Navigator funding is down. The 2025 federal tax and budget bill is expected to push 490,000 Georgians off coverage between 2026 and 2034. For a lot of families, the question isn't just what plan do I pick? It's can I still afford to be covered at all?

GHF can't change the policies overnight. But we can make sure no Georgian has to face them alone.

Give before May 19 to help keep this work going.
