GA (1 of 10 states not to expand Medicaid) has 12% uninsured rate
Instead Kemp launched Pathways, saying est 345k would be eligible & 100k enrolled in 1 year
End of Oct: only 5,118 enrolled
Cost to GA?
$58M mostly admin & consulting fees, not medical expenses
Why?

Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, said that 345,000 people would enroll in the state’s Medicaid program, which has strict work requirements—so far just 5,118 have.
