2:04Now PlayingCuts to Medicaid and Affordable Care Act subsidies are hitting thousands of Georgians hard, with some now paying hundreds of dollars more per month for the same level of care.
Pamela Blackstone, a single grandmother raising an autistic grandson on less than $25,000 a year, says her ACA premium jumped from $80 to $412 a month.
"I should not have to make a choice between living, paying my rent or having good health," she said.
Georgia could face up to $8 billion in federal Medicaid cuts over the next 10 years, with more than 200,000 Georgians potentially losing coverage.
