Cook County, which runs one of the biggest public health systems in the nation, is bracing for a blow to its budget as U.S. House Republicans advanced sweeping cuts to health insurance for millions of low-income people. But the uncertainty about just how steep the cuts could be could last for months with the wide-ranging proposal now heading to the U.S. Senate. The measure would drastically scale back Medicaid, the public health insurance program for people who are low-income or disabled.

As Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker looks to end a state health insurance program for low-income immigrant adults held up as a national model, a new preliminary study suggests providing coverage actually gives hospitals a financial boost and can help all patients. Illinois insures around 40,000 people who don’t have legal status in the U.S. or don’t otherwise qualify for comprehensive public health insurance, such as Medicaid and Medicare.
