Illinois congressional leaders and advocates argue the country needs a federal budget that prioritizes people over profits.

Pritzker warned of dire consequences to the state's health care infrastructure if Medicaid cuts are enacted, noting that more than 3.4 million Illinois residents are covered by the program.

The report shows enrollment in the state’s Medicaid-like programs for undocumented immigrants was nearly double original estimates. In some cases, enrollees weren't even "undocumented."

Pritzker warns Illinois could lose $1.9B in withheld federal funds and Medicaid cuts, affecting agencies, businesses, and residents.

As it stands now, Medicaid doesn't come close to covering the full costs of care, writes the president and CEO of the Illinois Health & Hospital Association.

Republicans passed a budget that will mean stripping away health care from working families to finance tax cuts for a privileged few.

Cuts to Medicaid would especially impact the most vulnerable in communities, such as low-income individuals and people with disabilities, according to state Democratic congressional members.
