Healthcare
My 2020 Position:
I ran on a promise to provide workplace sick leave to aid workers during the pandemic and to assure Medicaid payments were paid on a regular and reliable schedule in hopes to increase confidence in the program. I also swore to advocate for programs that would allow local providers to accept Medicaid coverage.
My Accomplishments:
I worked this whole session to make sure that the men and women of my district who needed medical help could get it.
Future:
I will continue to educate the community on medicare, work to expand insurance coverage to all Illinoisans at a lower rate, and secure better protections for workers in the event of illness/accidents.
