In 2023, Healthy Illinois is working to close the remaining gap and win coverage for ALL low-income Illinois residents, regardless of immigration status.
- Expand Health Benefits for Immigrant Adults (Medicaid-like coverage) to people ages 19-41, who are still excluded from eligibility.
- Illinois House Bill 1570 and Illinois Senate Bill 122 would expand Health Benefits for Immigrant Adults to cover people ages 19-41, so that all low-income Illinois residents could qualify for accessible, comprehensive health care coverage.
- Include Long-term Services and Supports, both Home and Community Based Services and longterm facility-based care, in Health Benefits for Immigrant Adults and Health Benefits for Immigrant Seniors coverage packages.
