Georgia governor Sonny Perdue would now travel to Washington later this week to tell Congress about a deficit in federal funding for children's health insurance. The deficit is actually affecting 17 states, including Alaska.
Perdue says a fault in the federal funding formula has meant that the states are lacking out of money as one billion dollars in state Children's Health Insurance Program money remains unspent. That is sufficient to cover the low-fall in all 17 states, he said. Perdue would testify before the U.S. Senate Finance Committee on Thursday.
