The Illinois Legislature will soon be deciding on how to slash the Medicaid program to satisfy the Governor's request of a $2.7 billion cut. The initial proposal from Governor Quinn was a 10% reduction in home care and hospice services through utilization controls. The Illinois HomeCare & Hospice Council has responded by commissioning a study by the Center for Long-Term Care Reform at Health & Medicine Policy Research Group (HMPRG) on the negative fiscal impact of home care cuts. We invite you to read the study.
