이 자리에서 주 상원의원 데니얼 비스가 Chair로 있는 Human Service Committee는 HB5736에 대해 6명이 찬성,  1명이 반대, 1명이 불참하여 다수의 지지와 찬성으로 "Covering All Kids"를 주 상원 의회로 상정할 것을 통과시켰습니다.

이 Committee에서는 Community United와 Healthy Communities Cook County (HC3) Coalition 시민리더이자 All Kids로 혜택을 받는 3명의 아이를 가진 Manolita Huber씨가 나와서 다음과 같이 자신의 이야기를 커미티 상원의원들에게 들려주었습니다. 

"남편이 갑자기 사고로 죽고, 혼자서 3명의 아이들을 키우면서 올 키즈 덕분에 세 명의 아이들이 정기 건강 검진을 받고, 정기 치과치료를 받으며 학교에서 요구하는 건강 검진 서류들도 제공할 수 있었습니다. 올 키즈를 통해 우리 아이들과 같은 저소득층 시민권자 아이들이 건강하게 자라 이 사회에 공헌할 수 있습니다. 올 키즈의 혜택을 받는 아이들 41,000 명 중 39,957명이 시민권자들입니다. 일리노이 주 정부에서 가장 최소의 비용으로 아이들에게 보험 혜택을 주고 건강한 삶을 지켜줄 수 있는 것이 바로 올키즈 프로그램인 것입니다."

한인사회복지회는 자매 기관들과 함께 의원들에게 All Kids에 대해 적극적인 지지를 당부하고, 주 상원의회 통과를 위해서도 계속적으로 노력해줄 것을 당부할 예정입니다. 상원의회 통과를 위해 한인공동체의 AllKids에 대한 관심과 지지를 표현하고 싶다면 아래 링크로 들어가 주 상원들에게 올 키즈프로그램을 지지해 달라는 탄원서를 제출해주십시오. 친구들과 이웃들에게도 탄원서에 서명해 줄 것을 알려주신다면 올 키즈 프로그램 주 상원 의회 통과를 위해 큰 힘이 될 것입니다.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WEDNESDAY MAY 4, 2016

HEALTHY ILLINOIS APPLAUDS SENATE PRESIDENT JOHN CULLERTON, SENATE CHIEF SPONSOR IRIS MARTINEZ, SENATE MINORITY LEADER CHRISTINE RADOGNO AND ASSISTANT REPUBLICAN LEADER SYVERSERSON FOR SUPPORTING “Covering All Kids” HB 5736

Passed by the Senate Human Services Committee 6 to 1 with Bi-Partisan Support. HB 5736 moves to the full Illinois Senate for approval.

SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS - By a vote of 6 to 1 in Illinois Senate committee, the Illinois Senate continues the bipartisan commitment for commonsense legislation “Covering All Kids” HB 5736. Two weeks ago, Illinois House approved HB5736 with robust bipartisanship 77 to 38. Healthy Illinois thanks “Covering All-Kids Champions Governor Bruce Rauner, House Speaker Michael Madigan, Senate President John Cullerton, chief sponsors Lisa Hernandez and Iris Martinez, minority leaders Christine Radogno, Jim Durkin, Dave Syversonand Patti Bellock for renewing their commitment to quality health coverage for all children regardless of their immigration status. HB 5736 will next be voted by the full Illinois Senate and signed by Governor Rauner.

“Today's passage of HB5736 in the Senate Human Services Committee, extending the Covering All Kids Health Insurance Act, continues Illinois's longstanding and important bi-partisan commitment to protecting the health of children in this state regardless of immigration status. It is also a smart investment in prevention and early diagnosis, which promote good health while saving money.” says JOHN BOUMAN, President at Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law & Healthy Illinois Board Member.

“As one of the largest health care providers for low income and undocumented immigrants in Illinois, Alivio Medical Centers thanks the Illinois Senate Human Services Committee for passing HB5736  “Covering All Kids” to provide health care for our most vulnerable children regardless of their immigration status," said ESTHER CORPUZ, Alivio Medical Center CEO “Now, on to the full Senate!” 

COVERING ALL KIDS WORKS

·       Covering All Kids has resulted in Illinois having the second highest rate of health coverage for Latino children in the nation – 95.5%

·       Covering All Kids has resulted in Illinois having one of the highest rates of health coverage for ALL children in the nation - 96.7%

·       Covering All Kids generates an enhanced Federal match:  the program draws down over $40 million federal match that reduces the already modest state cost

·       In 2006, Covering All Kids was passed with a unanimous bi-partisan vote of 107 to nothing in the IL House, and has since enjoyed the support of both Democratic and Republican Governors

·       Substantial federal matching funds will be lost or at risk, and children from working poor families, including immigrant children, will lose health coverage on July 1, if Illinois does not continue “Covering All Kids”

·       SUPPORT HB5736: amending The Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act to extend the sunset date from July 1, 2016 to October 1, 2019

The mission of the Healthy Illinois Campaign is to make quality, affordable health care coverage accessible to all people in Illinois.http://www.healthyillinoiscampaign.org
