Gov. Brian Kemp campaigned on a promise to strengthen health care for Georgians. Instead, his newest proposal would set tough eligibility requirements and would lead to only a fraction of low-income people receiving health insurance. The eventual enrollment projections under his 1115 waiver plan would enroll just 50,000 Georgians. That would leave 408,000 uninsured adults.
