In Illinois we can be grateful for All Kids, which ensures that all children have access to comprehensive, quality affordable health care. Because of this program, we have been able to cut down on time and money spent in the emergency room and link our children to regular primary care doctors. We need to safeguard and protect All Kids by enrolling more children in this cost-effective program.
