If you’re wondering if or why you should care about this discussion: You likely know or are someone who utilizes Medicaid, as it provides health coverage for millions of Americans and nearly 1 million Chicagoans. Changes to Medicaid could affect you or your loved ones, and this conversation is a starting point for what you should know and what you can do to get involved and help Chicagoans during this period.
