Bill > SR0584

This resolution, passed by the Illinois Senate, calls on the U.S. Congress to address what it terms the "Trump healthcare affordability crisis" by immediately reinstating the 2022 healthcare subsidies. These subsidies, created by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, were designed to make health insurance more affordable for individuals and families, particularly those purchasing plans through marketplaces like Get Covered Illinois. The resolution argues that the expiration of these subsidies, which it attributes to actions by former President Trump and Republican leaders, has led to significant increases in insurance premiums and deductibles for hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans, disproportionately affecting rural communities and those with lower incomes. It contrasts these increased healthcare costs for working families with tax cuts provided to the wealthy and corporations under the Trump tax bill.
