SPRINGFIELD – Gov. JB Pritzker Tuesday signed what he said was a comprehensive health care bill.
“This legislation provides Medicaid coverage for whole health programs,” said the governor, “veterans’ support specialists so our heroes receive care that recognizes their unique struggles, individual and group programs for those seeking help ending their tobacco addiction, and an expansion of mental health resources through the addition of clinical professional counselors.”
Others at the ceremony said the new law is simply about access, regardless of one’s income, race, or gender.
