Georgia Stops Enrolling Children in Health Insurance Program

HeadlineMar 14, 2007

The state of Georgia has stopped enrolling new children in its child health insurance program over a more than $100 million shortfall in federal funding. On Tuesday, legislators said they’ve reached a temporary agreement that would keep currently enrolled children in the program, but warned their services could run out when funds dry up at the end of the month. Georgia is one of 14 states facing child insurance shortfalls.
