ATLANTA (AP) - Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue is urging a pair of
undecided Georgia Democrats to vote no on President Barack Obama's
health care plan.
In a letter to U.S. Reps. John Barrow and Sanford Bishop, Perdue
said the health bill's expansion of Medicaid would be devastating
to Georgia's cash-strapped budget, forcing the state to spend money
it doesn't have.
Perdue argued the proposal - expected to face a House vote
Sunday - would delay the state's economic recovery.
Perdue encouraged Barrow and Bishop to "put the needs of your
district and state before that of your political party."
Barrow is from Savannah and Bishop is from Albany. Barrow did
not immediately return a phone call for comment Thursday. Bishop
said Thursday he is inclined to support the president's bill.
