State to Miss Deadline on High-Risk Health-Care Pool
(Chicago Sun Times) — In one of the first major provisions of federal health-care reform, states were supposed to establish temporary high-risk insurance pools for people with pre-existing conditions by July 1.
But Illinois won’t make that deadline. It probably won’t start enrolling people in its pool until mid- to late August because legislators in Springfield failed to pass legislation necessary to set up the new program, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.
