AAP has launched a new “Protecting Medicaid and CHIP” website with advocacy tools, statements, and more. This one-pager describes why Medicaid and CHIP are vital to children and families across the country. This resource explains the importance of keeping children and teens continuously covered. Additional resources include:
- Georgia Medicaid Fact Sheet 2025: Explains the importance of Medicaid for children in our state.
- Georgia EPSDT State Profile: Provides detailed information on how our Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) – Health Check Services aligns with the AAP/Bright Futures guidelines as recommended by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), Health Resources and Services Administration
Our partners at Voices for Georgia’s Children has prepared this factsheet, entitled How Medicaid and PeachCare Money Work to outline funding for these programs. AAP members are encouraged to consider calling on their Congressional representatives to vote ‘no’ on the Senate budget resolution. This action alert (requires AAP log-in) contains information about reaching out to your members of Congress urging them to vote against any measures that would cut Medicaid funding. Please contact AAP State Advocacy at stgov@aap.org for support or additional information as we continue to work together to protect children’s health.
