Gov. Brian Kemp said Thursday he wants the state’s Medicaid program to have more flexibility.

That could open the door to covering more Georgians under the healthcare program for low income people.

Kemp made the announcement to members of the Georgia House and Senate during his first State of the State address as governor.
