Most of us may have heared the numbers before. Almost one-fifth of the state's population - 1.7 million Georgians - lives with no access to health insurance. This number has been stated so many times, which are now starting to grow numb to it. But what cannot pay to lose sight of it. And it is vital to know who makes up that 1.7 million. Seventy-one percent of Georgia's people without insurance are either working adults or the dependents of working adults. That's more than a million uninsured people in our state working hard each day to provide for themselves and their families.
The plan that was lately proposed - called the Georgia Health Marketplace - targeting to make a market-based system, which would lower the cost of insurance through direct competition.

Governor Blagojevich cut about 450-million dollars form the state's budget and declared to open health care and insurance coverage for more people. Now, the second term Governor is shaping good on part of that promise. Blagojevich further stated he's ordered the state to herald its government sponsored insurance program, I-CHIP, to young adults until their 21.
The development would charge between 15- and 20-million- of the almost 500-million dollars he plans to put toward his newest healthcare expansion. The Governor stats the I-CHIP expansion would assist transition people from All Kids, the huge healthcare plan he expanded during his first term.
