Expected cost for Illinois’ noncitizen health care program grows to $1.1 billion – Capitol News IL

IDHFS chief of staff Ben Winick told the committee that the original estimate relied on the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey data to estimate the eligible population, then assumed a certain percentage would enroll. But both the cost of providing care and the number of enrollees have far outpaced estimates.

$1.1B? Do I hear $1.2B? Yes! Do I hear $1.3B Going Going Yes from the politician in the back. The bid is now $1.4B. Three months later. Do I hear $4.7B?

Wow, now that’s a public charge. Hmm, another reason to keep on stacking. Soon it’ll be cheaper to wipe your dupa with dollar bills than buy TP with them. You youngsters can kiss a dignified retirement goodbye too. That ship sailed without being on board.

The financial options contract referred to as health insurance does not equate to actual medical goods and services access.
Look up Centene, Pritzker Centene investment, Centene complaints.
