The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said the plan for people who have been denied coverage in the private market now covers 8,011 people across the nation

2. Wow! That's awesome if you can afford it!

But he said that for many uninsured Georgians, the plans are beyond their economic reach. The plan charges what private insurers would charge someone of the same age who had no health problems. In Georgia, monthly premiums this year ranged from $323 a month for consumers under age 35 to $688 a month for consumers 55 and older.

"For people who have expensive conditions, that is going to be a good offering, but for other people it's quite a bit of money," Cornett said.
