Maybe IL needs to clean up the Medicaid rolls and remove people who should not qualify. But I guess that’s what “Get Covered IL” is for- to bypass Medicaid to cover and subsidize those who don’t qualify?

Pritzker has spent over a billion dollars on medicaid funding for illegal aliens that should have instead been spent for the benefit of Illinois citizens health care, education and lowering property taxes. Unhappy with your property tax bill; blame Pritzker and his beloved illegals.
