Georgia could run out of federal funding for its PeachCare for Kids program as early as next month, state officials say. Federal funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (or CHIP, which includes PeachCare) expired Sept. 30, putting the future of the popular insurance program in limbo. CHIP covers almost 9 million children nationally.
PeachCare funds could dry up in weeks without a new deal in D.C.
