Working across state lines to create collective, bold, and meaningful systems change.
This spring, the Shriver Center championed a legislative agenda in Illinois designed to support low-wage workers, expand access to health coverage, and secure stable housing so that all Illinoisans can thrive.
Illinois became the first state in the nation to provide Medicaid-like coverage to low-income seniors over the age of 65. Today Illinois builds upon this legacy by expanding coverage to low-income adults ages 55 through 64.
Long-term care is a vital service that should be available to all Illinoisans.
Direct investments in health coverage, tax credits, and other benefits for people with low income will serve families hardest hit by the pandemic.
Attorney brings deep experience in advocacy for equal justice.
Our agenda is rooted in equity and establishing long-term supports for communities across the state.
These findings will help drive the Shriver Center’s healthcare advocacy during the 2022 Illinois legislative session.
