Perdue signs state health care legislation

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.
