Federal figures show Georgia's Medicaid and PeachCare enrollment jumped 16 percent since October — the highest percentage increase among states that have rejected the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. The Georgia jump greatly exceeds that of the second-highest increase among non-expansion states: 9.5 percent in Montana. Expanding Medicaid involves extending enrollment in the government program to many low-income people who had not previously been eligible.
