State Capitol, March 5, 2019 — with dollars increasingly scarce and the state always behind in paying its bills, Sen Kimberly Lightford (D) is joined by fellow lawmakers to raise alarms over the nonpayments to hospitals my Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), when they deny claims by some 20% of the time across the state.
The lawmakers make the case that healthcare at rural hospitals and “safety net” hospitals in poor urban areas are having their operations and sustainability threatened by a heavy-handed healthcare bureaucracy and a set of rules they must follow that were never anticipated when the program began.

In the first minute she gets it wrong when she says we have a "broken managed care program in Illinois". I'm not even going to listen to the rest of the video because the problem isn't some tiny subset of Illinois government – it's Illinois government itself! It's broke, continues to spend more than it takes in every goddamn year, and is so inept at getting the hell out of residents' way that they're leaving to go to other states where they get a better life at lower cost.
Think about that last part – we don't even like to leave our jobs for a better one once we've gotten used to our current jobs. The people who're going to other Midwestern states are leaving their jobs, their neighbors, their friends, and in some cases their families because Illinois government is bloated, greedy, and destroying their lives.
Um, Illinois is broke due to Dimocratic “leadership.” Dimocrat after Dimocrat after Dimocrat in this video. Yet they continue to be elected – and they don’t get it. Baffling. I’m embarrassed FOR Illinois.
MCOs don’t pay or participate because Illinois is broke – and they know they ain’t gonna get paid. Common sense.
WOW The thanks for your hard work Real News
Lemme’ tell ya about healthcare in Illinois. From a safe distance of 2,000 miles away.
Run like hell
