Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois plans to cut a healthcare program for older illegal migrants to address the state’s $3.2 billion deficit. Initially covering migrants aged 42-64, this program, introduced in 2020, has proven costly, amassing $1.6 billion. While Pritzker’s actions contrast with Governor Gavin Newsom’s, who has taken on debt for similar initiatives in California, the decision has met with pushback from advocates:
- Andrea Kovach highlights the long-term cost implications of untreated illnesses.
- Illinois politicians face pressure over this policy reversal atonalize budget constraints.
Approximately 700,000 illegal aliens live in Illinois.
