During a news conference today hosted by Rush, Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the Healthcare Protection Act into law — which aims to increase accessibility by reducing predatory insurance practices. "For thousands of Illinoisans, the reforms in this bill will mean the difference between suffering with curable health conditions and getting the care that they need in a timely manner,” Pritzker said. “And for some, this bill will quite literally save their lives." Dr. Omar Lateef, president and CEO of Rush University System for Health and Rush University Medical Center, thanked Pritzker for choosing Rush for the bill signing and echoed our support for the bill’s passage. “This new bill is about holding insurers accountable and empowering patients and their doctors and nurses to make key decisions — based on medical need and not on what is profitable,” Lateef said.
