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.
Understandably, everyone comments on the state having to take initiative with possible violation of the contracts clause. Why not a federally assisted insurance program where individuals may waive their contract rights and join voluntarily? Illinois is apparently offering some cash-outs now. If directed by an individual who waives constitutional rights couldn’t Illinois contribute to funding the insurance also in consideration of the reduction of the system’s and the state’s liability?
