Health Care Justice Act

The Health Care Justice Act (20 ILCS 4045) encouraged the Illinois General Assembly to implement a health care access plan by July 1, 2007, that would provide affordable, accessible, quality health care for all Illinoisans. The Health Care Justice Campaign (a project of Campaign for Better Health Care) won passage of the act in 2004. The act encouraged Illinois to create a health care plan that would provide preventive, acute and long-term health care services to all citizens of Illinois. It also suggests the importance of not only ensuring availability for health care, but continuing to maintain and improve the quality of health care services (Illinois Department of Public Health).
