Illinois Governor JB Pritzker aims to erase $1 billion in medical debt for 1 million residents through proposed legislation. The initiative, starting with $10 million in FY 2023, follows Cook County's successful program that has eliminated over $348 million in debt for 200,000 residents since 2022. This statewide effort requires lawmakers' approval as part of a multi-year plan.
