🏛️ Health Policy Innovation: Medicaid Expansion Advocacy Toolkit for Georgia
Develop a comprehensive advocacy toolkit to support Medicaid expansion efforts in Georgia, including data analysis, community organizing materials, and policy recommendations.
The Challenge:
Georgia is one of the few states that hasn't expanded Medicaid, leaving 500,000+ adults in the coverage gap. We need a toolkit that can:
- Make the economic and health case for expansion with Georgia-specific data
- Provide organizing materials for community advocates
- Counter common policy objections with evidence-based responses
- Support coalition building across diverse stakeholder groups
- Create compelling narratives for media and policymaker engagement
Current Advocacy Gaps:
- Fragmented messaging across different organizations
- Limited rural community engagement
- Need for stronger economic impact data
- Lack of coordinated policy strategy
- Limited culturally appropriate materials
