A staggering yet not unprecedented “363,000 workers from 3,270 companies received medical benefits from state programs during that period.” This cost of money and time would not be such a
burden if the money were poured into universal health care for all.Illinois state’s Medicaid director, Anne Marie Murphy, commented, “When people are uninsured, everyone pays.” I have not heard or read a truer statement in regards to the health insurance industry in this country in a long while. Least of all “we” all pay financially but more importantly millions of families pay with their health and lives.
Companies that employee the most workers requesting subsidized medical care included “Wal-Mart, McDonald's, Burger King, Target, Jewel, Manpower and Kelly Services.” In-home health care workers in Illinois are not offered health insurance by the state putting their employers in the upper echelon with the aforementioned companies.
