Criticism continues against Gov. Pritzker’s move closing health care enrollment for immigrants – Chicago Tribune*

“For several years, the undocumented community has lived without health care and maybe that is why the whole process of the health care is so expensive now - because we could’ve done this years ago and prevented any additional sickness,” state Rep. Barbara Hernandez said. “But because we have neglected them for so long, now they have illnesses that they have to be in constant observation, or medication, and of course it’s going to be costly for the state, unfortunately.”
