State may finance migrants care in Illinois
The Illinois Senate Public Health Committee approved a bill to end township responsibility for migrant medical aid and have the state pay costs instead. Sponsor Sen. John Merlo says small townships face near bankruptcy without state funding, while Arturo Lopez of the Illinois Migrant Council supports the change for improved care. The proposal caps state costs at 280000 dollars monthly.
