Healthy Illinois Campaign

Currently, Illinois relies on costly, complicated and financially unstable methods to care for people who are uninsured. Illinois will benefit from a standard way of negotiating, providing and financing healthcare for all.

Mission:

The mission of the Healthy Illinois Campaign is to make quality, affordable health care coverage accessible to all people in Illinois.

Principles:

• Health care is a basic human right.
• Quality, affordable health care coverage should be accessible for all in Illinois.
• Increased access to care, timely preventative services and better management of chronic illnesses promote improved health outcomes and reduce costs of late health interventions.
• Reducing the burden on local governments that are currently paying uninsured health care costs will save Illinois taxpayers.
• Less uninsured patients seen in hospitals and other medical providers will reduce uncompensated care costs.
• Providing healthcare for all in Illinois will balance costs and prevent health-related financial crises for individuals and families.
