Individual Health Insurance in Georgia (GA)
More than 9.1 million Americans make their home in the Peach state and 138,000+ more are born each year. Sadly, 1.65 million Georgians walk around each day unprotected by health insurance. With the wide variety of health insurance options available, there is no reason why every resident of Georgia can't join the ranks of the insured.
Health Facts in Georgia
Starting during their time spent in the womb, children without health insurance suffer in Georgia. Almost 13,000 babies are born each year with a low birth weight, equally 9 percent of all newborns. Another 13 percent are born prematurely and 16 percent don't receive the necessary immunizations to grow up safely in this country.
As they get older, the statistics concerning the healthcare of Georgia's children doesn't improve. Sixteen percent of children in Georgia are classified as overweight or obese and only 58 percent had both a dental exam and a physical last year. With healthcare coverage, these numbers would shift significantly.
