"All Kids" Illinois is Some Kids Illinois


The last numbers we heard on "All Kids" the as yet unfunded insurance (election campaign) program was enrollment of 28,000 with 16,000 of those illegal immigrants.

There are no residency requirements for this "program". While the numbers on illegals seems solid, there are also significant numbers enrolled who reside in Missouri (St. Louis and surrounding areas).

Obviously, we made a mistake when we claimed our U.S. citizenship and Illinois residency in the application process. The letter shown from the State of Illinois states without ceremony:

"We have decided that the children . . . you applied for cannot get All Kids Medical Benefits . . . Your declared family income is above the income standard"

So there seems to be (even though this is denied by State officials), an INCOME standard but no residency standard!

Only in the great state of Illinois that is confusion.
