Months after Georgia ran short of money for PeachCare children's health insurance, Republicans in the state's congressional delegation are opposing efforts to expand its parent program in Washington. Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson said today that they will vote against legislation to increase federal spending for the State Children's Health Insurance Program – or S-CHIP. In the House, all seven of the state's Republican members voted last night against a broader expansion that drew nearly unanimous GOP opposition. Representative Jim Marshall of Macon was the lone Georgia Democrat to join them.
