I'm glad EX-GOV. PALIN stood up to the FEDS by not accepting any "FED" money.

I understand that this is possible. So is what you are saying is that the state of Alaska is double dipping into a Federal program. This article illustrates the problems with federal programs manipulating the system becomes the goal. Health care will be 10x worse.

I don't think this is % of total population enrolled -- it is the percent of eligible students who are enrolled. Alaska is higher than 100% because they use State money to enroll families that wouldn't be eligible just under Federal Funds.
