House fails to override Rauner’s veto of bill to create taxpayer-funded workers’ comp company – INN

“Why don’t we just go full out socialism in the state of Illinois,” Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, said. “So we could have a work comp agency run by the state, a health insurance agency run by the state, homeowners insurance run by the state, business liability run by the state. Maybe we put State Farm Insurance out of business. Let’s just have the state insert itself in all other insurance."
