In Georgia, state officials have announced a shortfall in federal funding will prevent new children from being enrolled in Georgia’s child health insurance program. The warning comes days after critics said the president’s new budget request falls far short of what is needed to keep covering the six million children in the Children’s Health Insurance Program nationwide. Georgia state officials say enrolled children will continue to receive services, but the program could run out of money as soon as next month. Georgia is one of 14 states facing child insurance shortfalls.
