Illinois House Majority Leader Greg Harris, D-Chicago, said people are frustrated by the increasing cost of prescription drugs and healthcare services. But House Bill 5442 remains in committee; It would require state agencies to study a variety of healthcare plans in an effort to find the path toward lowering healthcare costs.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
