Governor Sonny Perdue was busy Wednesday signing some pieces of legislation into law. Two bills aimed at making some health insurance plans more accessible to Georgians were signed-off-on by Perdue. One eliminates companies’ state and local premium taxes on high-deductible plans--it's expected to save companies 146 million dollars over five years. The other measure signed by the Governor gives a boost to the creation of health savings accounts. Employers set up the plan where pretax dollars can be deposited to help pay medical costs. Perdue says the plans help a growing pool of uninsured Georgians with another affordable option.
