Georgia is set to launch its controversial Pathways to Coverage program, a limited Medicaid expansion for some low-income adults who complete work, volunteering and other eligible approved activities every month.

Pathways’ start would make Georgia the first state in the nation to operate such a program. 

The Trump administration initially approved the coverage model. The Biden administration later blocked it. Then last summer, a federal judge allowed it to move ahead.
