Friday Health Plans' Closure Leaves Thousands of Georgians Without Insurance
Georgia-based insurance company Friday Health, which insures over 35,000 people on the Affordable Care Act marketplace exchange, has been shut down by the state's insurance commissioner due to concerns over its financial stability. Policyholders have until July 31 to switch to a new insurance company or risk being uninsured. The ACA exchange has opened a special enrollment window for Friday Health policyholders in Georgia to switch to a new health insurance company. Friday Health had promised unlimited free primary care visits and mental health counseling sessions, but struggled to make a profit.
