Over $325 million in medical debt has been erased for Illinoisans in the past year.
And that work continues now to get us to our goal of eliminating $1 billion for the people of our state.

The Trump Administration just rescinded guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortion care when medically necessary.
California remains unaffected — but women in red states will face life-threatening risks.

In case people are amazed/confuses/shocked/whatever by the devastating cuts proposed for US science, technology, and innovation, please remember that autocrats always go after three main targets:

3️⃣ Academics

Students like Emma have been advocating to expand reproductive rights on our public university campuses in Illinois.
We’re eliminating barriers to seeking care due to inaccessibility, and I look forward to signing HB 3709 into law.

Hope all these Trumpers are happy with themselves. For all the reasons, but also this reason. Dicks.
Under the Biden administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finalized a rule barring medical debt from appearing on credit reports. Now, the agency is siding with the credit industry groups suing to have the rule vacated.
The CFPB wanted medical debt to be left off credit reports. That's changed under Trump

That means some of the most vulnerable Americans – families, the elderly, folks with disabilities – won’t be able to get the lifesaving treatment, medication, or care they need. These are people you know. Reach out to your senators now to let them know how much this will impact you.
