Illinois Medicaid: Working Together To Support The Health Of Our Families, Communities, And State
Wednesday, May 28, 2025 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Coordinating lifesaving care for Niah across states Nearly half of all babies born in Illinois are covered by Medicaid. “Niah,” of Naperville, is among them. Born in 2021, Niah was diagnosed with a complex heart condition, including congenital abnormalities and cardiac arrhythmia. Soon after her first birthday, Niah’s doctors determined that she needed lifesaving heart surgery—quickly. The challenge? Niah’s condition was so unique that only a handful of specialists in the U.S. could treat it. Surgeons at Boston Children’s Hospital were ready to take the case. Niah’s care team and Medicaid health plan worked together to get her swiftly approved for the procedure, arranging an air ambulance to transport Niah. The health plan also coordinated travel and lodging for Niah’s parents to be with her. Their care coordinator Niah’s surgery was a success. Today, she is a curious, energetic toddler who sees renowned specialists back home in Illinois for ongoing care. Paid for by the Illinois Association of Medicaid Health Plans

Stop Credit Card Chaos In Illinois
Wednesday, May 28, 2025 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] A last-minute provision called the Interchange Fee Prohibition Act (IFPA) was snuck into the budget process last May and will create chaos for small businesses and consumers across Illinois if it takes effect on July 1, 2025. The IFPA gives corporate mega-stores like Walmart and Home Depot — who pushed for this backroom deal — millions more in profits, while small business owners get new expenses and accounting headaches. What’s more, consumers could be forced to pay for parts of their transactions in cash if this law moves forward. A recent court ruling in the litigation challenging the law suggests IFPA is likely pre-empted by federal law for national banks and will only apply to credit unions and local Illinois banks, putting local banks at a disadvantage against their national competitors. Illinois lawmakers should repeal the IFPA and focus on protecting small businesses and consumers across the state — not lining the pockets of corporate mega-stores. Stop the countdown to chaos by supporting a repeal of this misguided and flawed policy. Learn more at https://guardyourcard.com/illinois/
