probably the same thing would happen to you as what happened to a Georgia teenager. How long can a kid with type 1 diabetes go without insulin? We are spending how much in Iraq? This particular program looked at two children, both from Georgia. One was a teenaged girl with Type 1 diabetes — the kind of diabetes that requires an insulin pump and such. Her father had been laid off, and efforts to get on PeachCare were useless — it was accepting no new clients, because of the fight over the program in Washington. Gov. Sonny Perdue appears at about the eight-minute mark, and comes across a bit prickly. He’s asked what he would tell the young girl. Says Perdue: “We’re doing our part, and the federal part. We’re doing all that we can. To blame us for freezing a part where our federal partners are not fulfilling their obligation is not right — and I won’t accept that blame. “We’re doing our part.
