Illinois Insures Around 40,000 People Who Don’t Have Legal Status in the Us or Don’t Otherwise Qualify for Comprehensive Public Health Insurance, Such as Medicaid and Medicare. The Goal: To Prevent an Expensive Trip to A Hospital Emergency Department by Paying for Preventative Care.
That EFFORT HAS HAD A DOMINO EFFECT. In A New StudyResearchers at the University of Chicago and the University of California in Los Angeles Found What’s Known as Bad Debt, or Debt Hospitals Fail to Recoup, Declined on Average 15% Across Illinois From 202-23-and Potentially AS 25% at Hospitals in Highest enrolment in the states immigrant health plas. For the average hospital, a 15% drop in bad debt is around $ 1.5 million.
Aresha Martinez-Cardoso, an Assistant Professor of Public Health Sciences at u of the Team of Researchers, Also Compared Illinois to Indiana and Wisconsin from 2017-2023, a period that spans before and after the illinois health insurance for immigrant. The Neighboring States Did Not Have Type of Program, and Bad Debt for Hospitals there Relative the Same, The Study Found.
Aresha Martinez-Cardoso, Assistant Professor of Public Health Sciences at the University of Chicago, and Lead Author of the Study on Bad Debt for Hospitals.
The Decrease in Bad Debt in Illinois Happened in Part Becuses Thousands of Immigrants Were Insured, The Study Found. In Other Words, Hospitals Were Paid for the Medical Care they provided, instead of hating to bill uninsured patients who couldn’t afford to their care or wouldn’t pay, adding to debt piling at hospals.
Martinez-Cardoso Said She Hopes Her Research Provides a snapshot of the short-term impact of insurring immigrants.
“Sometimes you have to spend Money to Save Money in the Long Term,” Martinez-Cardoso Said in An Interview. “And it is in line with our values as a state to take Care of Our Residents.”
Andrea Kovach, an attorney at the Shriver Center on Poverty Law, which Advocated to Create State Health Insurance First for Low-Incom Seniors Regardless of their immigration status in 2020, Said the Study is one of the only reports to demonstrate impacts in illinois has helped hospitals financially, and what’s at stake if that goes away.

A spokeswoman for the illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, which Administration the Immigrant Health Insurance Plans, declined an interview Request with Top Officials. In a staff she said the programs have provided “Critical Healthcare Access for Thousands of Previously Uninsured Illinois Residents, Which in Turn Assists Who Serve Those Customers.”
Illinois State Sen. Graciela Guzman, A Chicago Democrat, Said She Hopes The Study Bolsters the argument that the states shoulder kep insurring immigrants. The Findings Illustrate How the Have Helped Stabilize the Health of Communities, She Said, Recalling A 46-YEAR-OLD IMMIGRANT WHO IS GETTING CHEMOTHERAPY TO TREAT Leukemia. He is set to love his state health insurance.
“The backup plan for that family is potentially Moving Away,” Guzman Said. “It is selling everything that and is like it really incredibly terse decies about how they can pool Money to be enures that the husband, the Fatr, their family, can have that that needs in July.”
When Hospital ACCUMULATE Debt, That Could Hurt Everyone. They Might have to cuts or reduce access to Medical Care in Other Ways, Accounting to Martinez-Cardoso’s Preliminary Findings.
LES BAD DEBT ACOSS The Health Care Industry Helps Control Costs for Every Patient, From Rich to Poor, Martinez-Cardoso Said. And it affects the Kinds of Services available at your Local Community Hospital.
“Are they deity to hire more ob/gyns? Do i have to wait a month to see someone, or three months to see someone, or do they have the Kinds of Equipment i Need?” Martinez-Cardoso Said.

The Ever-Evolving Nature of College Football Recruiting Nearly Deailed Bruno Massel’s Plays to Play at the Next Level.
There’s a happy ending to the York Quarterback’s Story, as He’s Heading to Rising Power Indiana as A Preferred Walk-on.
But the process was long and oCCACAGING DISCOURAGING FOR ONE OF THE STATE’S ELITE Quarterbacks in 2024, and arguably the Speediest.
“It was kind of Slow for a while,” Massel Said. “I was original going to business school. … I applied to some schooles for academics if Things didn’t work out (for football).”
MASSEL QUARTERBACKED YORD TO THE FIRST STATE FINAL IN PROGRAM HISTORY LAST FALL, but as College Interest Remained Lukewarm he worked on a plan B.
Massel’s College Search was complicated by several factors. More and more, College Football Coaches Are Restocking Their Rosters Through the Transfer Portal Rather than by Recruiting High-School prospects.
And the prep recruiting that does happen has shifted earlier. Junior Year is wen Most High-School Players Get Seen and Offered Scholarships. But Massel was a backup on the ducts’ class 8a semifinalist states, so he was under the radar heading into His season as a starter.
“If you don’t play as a junior, you’re kind of screen,” Massel Said. “Once you get to your senior year, (Recruiters have) Already Moved on.”
And it is just getting HARDER FOR PREP PLAYERS TO GET NOTICED.
“The 2025 Class for Recruiting was the Most Difficult Thing I’ve Ever Had to Navigate,” York Coach Don Gelsomino Said. “Transfer Portal, New Rules, Roster Cuts.”
Massel is 5-11 and 195 pounds, but with Elite Speed as a Class 3a State Qualifier in Two Events and Medalist in One (The 4×100-Meter Relay) as a junior.
“Bruno is a kid who is undersized for a quarterback, but obviously he can run,” Gelsomino Said.
MASSEL PASSED FOR 1,685 YARDS AND 11 TOUCHDOWNS LAST FALL FALL AVERAGING 8.5 YARDS A CARRY AND RUSHING FOR 1,248 YARDS AND 18 TDS. He was at his best in the playoffs, running 30 Times for 348 Yards and Seven Touchdowns in Wins Against Oswego and Warren.
Division III Programs Were Interesting in Massel as a Quarterback, but he was wasn’t gaining traction with Bigger Schools.
Gelsomino kept reaching out, though, and finally masssel got the break he was looking for.
Indiana, Coming off a breakout season under new coach cignetti, had a need that masssel could address.
“They were a little bit short in the recipeive room,” Gelsomino Said. “They Saw His Film and It Was a Pretty Quick Turnaround Process. It ‘a good fit academicly, a good fit football-wise.”
“We set up a tour and a Visit,” Massel Said. “It was something something that is a refuse. Their Business School is one of the top in the Country.”
And he’s fine with the position Change.
“I played recipe in sixth and seventh grad,” Massel Said. “I love the Challenge.”
He’s Looking forward to the Being Reunited with some familiar faces from youth football and quarterback training. Naperville North Senior Quarterback Jacob Bell is Also Headed to Indiana, while Nazareth Garrett Reese is a freimran defensive back for the hosiers.
“Great Athlete and Great Quarterback,” Massel Said of Bell. “I played with Garrett Four, Five Years on the Same Youth Team.”
Now they’re Back Together at one of College Football’s Top Programs.
