# O.C.G.A. § 33-29A-30. Legislative findings and purpose; increasing availability of health insurance for uninsured individuals.

The General Assembly recognizes the high level of uninsured individuals in this state and the need for individuals or other purchasers of health insurance coverage in this state to have the opportunity to choose health insurance plans that are more affordable and flexible than existing market policies offering accident and sickness insurance coverage. Therefore, the General Assembly seeks to increase the availability of health insurance coverage by allowing insurers authorized to transact insurance in Georgia to issue individual accident and sickness policies in Georgia that are currently approved for issuance in another state.
