PEACHCARE III

* Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, today I rise to call attention to the funding emergency that threatens Georgia's PeachCare.

* This is the third time this week I have stood here and announced that starting this Sunday--in just 2 days--no new children will be permitted to enroll.

* If no action is taken by Congress or the Governor, this program will run out of funding completely within the next month.

* And hard-working Georgia families will no longer be able to provide health care for their children.

* I call on the Governor of Georgia and my colleagues in this Congress to ensure these children get the care they need.

* I call on my colleagues and the Governor to save PeachCare.

* These children deserve healthy futures.
