In order to make informed decisions about improving the access and outcome of health care for state residents, Georgia's policymakers require timely health care cost and insurance data. This report analyzes historical and estimated trends in Georgia's health care spending and detail spending per capita by type of service (e.g. physicians, hospitals, and prescription drugs). In addition, the report examines the distribution of health care coverage by several demographic variables, as well as information on Medicaid, PeachCare for Kids and Georgia's State Health Benefit Plan.

This study was conducted by Kenneth E. Thorpe, PhD, Robert W. Woodruff Professor and Chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health.
