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.
