Governor Blagojevich's All Kids
"That’s why I created the All Kids program: to make health care a reality for hundreds of thousands of families across the state. Illinois will be the first state in the nation to provide affordable, comprehensive health insurance for every child. Of the 250,000 children in Illinois without health insurance, more than half come from working and middle class families who earn too much to qualify for state programs like KidCare, but not enough to afford private health insurance. Through All Kids, comprehensive health insurance will be available to every uninsured child at rates their parents can afford."
-Rod Blagojevich
-
The All Kids program will include all services covered by Medicaid and KidCare, with the exception of non-emergency medical transportation.
-
Monthly premiums and co-pays would be determined on a sliding scale, depending on household income.
-
No co-pays would be required for preventative care visits, such as immunizations and regular check-ups.
You can apply for all kids at this link: All Kids or contact your local Healthcare and Family Services or Human Services office.
FYI: Once All Kids is implemented on July 1st 2006, Medicaid and KidCare will be eliminated for children 0 - 18. After 18 years of age, you may still qualify for Medicaid. Contact your case worker for further information.
Don't forget, if you are a parent of a special needs or disabled child, your child may qualify for social security disability insurance or supplemental security income. This income is based on need, not prior work history. To find if you qualify, visit Social Security online or call 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
