Report Finds Georgia Medicaid Program Spent Twice as Much on Bureaucracy as on Patient Care

#wqeb973newz | Atlanta, GA-🚨 Georgia Medicaid Program Spends More on Paperwork Than Care

A new federal report shows Georgia’s Pathways to Coverage Medicaid program has spent twice as much on administrative costs as it has on health care.

📊 Since 2023:

• $54.2M → paperwork & bureaucracy
  
• $26.2M → actual patient care
  

Only about 6,500 people enrolled — out of 200,000+ eligible. Critics say work requirements are blocking access to coverage.

⚖️ Nationwide work requirements begin in 2027.
