Medicaid
Illinois has just added hundreds of thousands of people to its Medicaid rolls. A system that's collapsing under its own weight and which has been proven to be riddled with ineligible enrollees must be brought under control.

Under ObamaCare, total Medicaid enrollment in Illinois will triple that of only a decade ago, and will expand to cover more than one third of the state's population. If the state cannot meet its financial obligations now, how will it cope with these greater expenses?

Reform, in the form of repealing coverage mandates, block grants allowing the poor to buy high-deductible insurance, health savings accounts and high risk pools are a much better solution.
