Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) last week released a proposal to opt the entire state out of the federal Affordable Care Act exchanges, leaving residents to find their own commercial coverage. Kemp says this will lead to lower prices and a more competitive market, but critics worry it may lead to coverage gaps, and many people will unnecessarily lose their health care. 401,413 people are currently enrolled in exchange plans in Georgia, with Centene leading the pack at 65.9% market share.
