The Medicare Supplements Bill
Georgia bill would let disabled adults keep Medicare supplements
Bridging the Gap for ALS and Chronic Kidney Disease Act of 2025; enact
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let people under 65 with disabilities or kidney failure get and keep Medicare supplement plans at the same cost as seniors.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill could protect thousands of disabled Georgians from losing coverage or paying higher premiums, but it forces insurers to price these plans like senior plans, which may raise their costs.
