Health Care Justice Act

Health Care Justice Act

The Health Care Justice Act encourages the Illinois General Assembly to implement a health care access plan by July 1, 2007 that will provide affordable, accessible, quality health care for all Illinoisans. The Health Care Justice Campaign (a project of Campaign for Better Health Care) won passage of the Act in 2004. The Health Care Justice Act created the Adequate Health Care Task Force (AHCTF), composed of 29 voting members, to submit recommendations for a health care access plan to the General Assembly. The bipartisan AHCTF submitted their consensus plan to the Illinois General Assembly on January 26, 2007.
