All Kids Healthcare for All Kids

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.


SSI and SSDI

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).


S.P.E.A.K (Support Parents Educating Autistic Kids)

If you or someone you know is the parent to an Autistic child then you know the resources to help are limited. Amy Hillyer felt the same way when she found out her son had autism.  So she has found SPEAK. This program has many resources for parents of autistic children as well as children with speech communicative disorders and developmental delays. For more information, please contact Amy Hillyer at SPEAK 1424 14th Ave Moline, IL  61265. You can phone her at 309-797-0105.
