​PROBLEM: Across Georgia, people are struggling to access and afford the health care that they need.
​
Rx in Reach is committed to advocating for legislation that ends financial and discriminatory barriers to lifesaving medications and treatments that Georgia patients continue to face.
The Rx in Reach GA Coalition consists of members from 51 health-centered organizations representing physicians, nurses, patients, and community organizations, advocating for polices and legislation that ends financial and discriminatory barriers to securing vital medical care, treatments and medications.
Rx in Reach Georgia has continuously voiced concern over the impact of abuse of the 340B program on our healthcare system and egregious pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) practices that impact patients’ ability to access necessary care.
Georgia lawmakers have another chance to help patients in 2026 by opposing legislation which would expand the broken 340B program and championing legislation to increase transparency and accountability of PBM practices.
"I have been diagnosed with narcolepsy due to MS, and rely on a daily medication to stay awake. After getting a new insurance plan, I couldn't refill my medication and was told to go through a mail-order pharmacy. It took three months of making regular calls between the mail-order pharmacy and my doctor's office, and mitigating unnecessary mistakes to get my prescription filled. "
