Illinois Health Insurance Basics
The most populous state in the Midwest, Illinois is known for its diverse lifestyle and population. Centrally located, the state is the crossroads of transportation from all over the US. It has been a center for industry and finance as well. However, much of the state is rural. This variety in culture and geography also reflects a variety in health insurance needs. The Illinois farmer has different needs than the self-employed artist in downtown Chicago or the single mother in the suburbs. No one health insurance policy fits all.
Illinois has an uninsured population of nearly two million people out of a total population of 12.5 million. Making sure that the entire populace of Illinois has adequate health coverage is a challenge. The state government of Illinois has several recent initiatives to make sure that the more vulnerable portions of the state’s population have access to insurance. These initiatives include All Kids, CHIP, and Medicare. Individuals and families whose income levels are above the limits for these programs, but who do not have insurance through their employers, may enroll in an insurance program on their own. Other families may choose to supplement the available state and federal health coverage with additional private insurance.
