Illinois Senator seeks Medicaid eligibility rise for seniors
Senator Christine Radogno pushes fall legislation to raise Medicaid eligibility for seniors and disabled to 100 percent of the federal poverty level from the current 42 percent. She notes that many seniors on Social Security live with about $308 a month, unable to qualify while other groups exceed higher limits. She cites comparisons across states and calls for action before the veto session ends.
