Principles
- Health care is a basic human right.
- Quality, affordable health care coverage should be accessible for all in Illinois.
- Increased access to care, timely preventative services and better management of chronic illnesses promote improved health outcomes and reduce costs of late health interventions.
- Reducing the burden on local governments that are currently paying uninsured health care costs will save Illinois taxpayers.
- Less uninsured patients seen in hospitals and other medical providers will reduce uncompensated care costs.
- Providing healthcare for all in Illinois will balance costs and prevent health-related financial crises for individuals and families.
