In Southwest Georgia, the Affordable Care Act Is Having Trouble Living Up to Its Name
Kaiser Health News 
Feb. 3, 2014
"If Lee Mullins lived in Pittsburgh, he could buy mid-level health coverage for his family for $940 a month. If he lived in Beverly Hills, he would pay $1,405. But Mullins, who builds custom swimming pools, lives in Southwest Georgia. Here, a similar health plan for his family of four costs $2,654 a month.... All the dynamics that drive up health costs have coalesced here in Southwest Georgia, pushing up premiums. Expensive chronic conditions ... One hospital system dominates the area ... Only one insurer is offering policies in the online marketplace and many physicians are not participating, limiting consumer choice."
