Georgia insurers received more than 220,000 applications for health coverage in the Affordable Care Act’s exchange as of the official federal deadline of March 31, state officials said Wednesday.
Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens, though, said premiums have been received for only 107,581 of those policies, which cover 149,465 people.
“Many Georgians completed the application process by the deadline, but have yet to pay for the coverage,” Hudgens said in a statement Wednesday.

Yes that is accurate... I live in Georgia, and my Girlfriend is one of those 220,000!
She actually HAS health insurance through her employer,
but it doe not cover Dental.
We can not afford the regular cost of a major dental visit; and she is in dire need of such because she has started to develop a serious problem with her wisdom teeth that were never removed...
Unfortunately, we did not learn until AFTER she had signed up on Healthcare.gov and gotten her application accepted, approved, etc etc etc... that the Dental Plans available on the "marketplace" are not available as stand alone plans.
We called a number of places, dentists who offered plans there, the marketplace itself, and we were told repeatedly that she could not get Dental through the Affordable Care Act, that she had to select a Healthcare Plan to go with the Dental Plan...
But she already has Healthcare through her employer...
So, she is signed up and approved for a plan through healthcare.gov... application accepted, etc etc etc...
But because they won't let her have a stand alone Dental Plan, she has not selected any plans at all, and not paid anything...
So now she is counted amongst the 220,000 who have not paid; all of whom are also counted amongst Obummer's 7 Million whom he claims
"have insurance through healthcare.gov"!
