A lot of people were flat out upset, devastated in some cases.
I'm Sabrina Sonecki, and this is What's News Sunday.
Over the last few weeks, I've been reporting on how the rising cost of living could determine who controls Congress next year.
In this episode, we talk to some of the Georgians navigating higher health care costs and to the pollsters who work with The Wall Street Journal to tell us what those costs might mean ahead of statewide primary runoff elections coming up this Tuesday.
This is The Cost of Living Election, Part 3.
According to the Georgia Recorder, the Peach State has seen a 37% drop in Affordable Care Act enrollment since the start of last year.
That represents more than half a million Georgians in a state of roughly 11.5 million.
And data from the U.S.
Census shows that a few years ago, Georgia had one of the highest rates of residents under 65 without insurance at 13.6%.
Joey Bernard is one of them.
He would have gotten insurance through Georgia Access this year, but it was too expensive.
Bernard is 40, and he lives with his wife and daughter in the city of Ball Ground.
It's in Cherokee County, which isn't far from Atlanta, though far enough from that urban center so as to be solidly Republican.
At the presidential level, the county hasn't voted for a Democratic president since Georgia's own Jimmy Carter.
For Bernard, the premium costs on marketplace insurance just weren't sustainable.
Last year, Bernard was laid off from the IT job he'd worked for 15 years.
He's found work again, but his new job doesn't provide health insurance like his old one did.
Now he and his wife are setting money aside to pay out of pocket for any medical attention they might need.
For some other Georgians, the higher cost of health care is already leading to tough choices.
Elizabeth Barnett lives with her husband, daughter, and grandfather in Stone Mountain, Georgia, also near Atlanta.
