Gov. Pat Quinn Gives Illinois Health Care Reform a Big, Fat Push Forward

Gov. Pat Quinn Gives Illinois Health Care Reform a Big, Fat Push Forward 

“In 2010, the Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimated that President Barack Obama's new health reform would save the state budget $365 million over the next five years. In 2011, newly-inaugurated Tea Party Governor Scott Walker, despite a gaping budget deficit, ordered the state Attorney General to add Wisconsin to list of states suing in federal court to overturn the new health insurance law. And so it goes with our northern neighbor, whose governor is giving the term "crank" a good name by comparison. In Illinois, however, on the one-year anniversary of the new federal health law, Governor Pat Quinn has been blazing forward to implement its provisions. In fact, since taking office, Quinn has been on tear to reform Illinois health care more broadly.”
