Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is advocating for the Healthcare Protection Act to reform predatory health insurance practices in the state. The act aims to end unfair insurance practices, such as targeting utilization management, updating in-network directories, and preventing rate hikes on Illinoisans. Pritzker's administration is working to balance the needs of insurance companies and consumers, ensuring access to necessary care while countering claims of increased costs. Additionally, Pritzker is addressing maternal health disparities and proposing budget measures to support women's healthcare. Lawmakers are reviewing Pritzker's proposals for significant changes in the state's health insurance industry.
