(AP) — Hundreds of thousands of people would see their health care cut back
or even eliminated under legislation approved Thursday by Illinois
lawmakers in a desperate attempt to shore up the state's crumbling budget.
....
Opponents said the cuts will mean suffering and death for some of the 2.7
million people who get care under Medicaid.
....
It's part of a package meant to fill a Medicaid shortfall of $2.7 billion,
or nearly $1 in every $5 the program spends.
....
The package addresses one of the two huge problems facing state officials
during the spring legislative session. The other, controlling the rising
cost of government pensions, is still the subject of intense negotiations
and pressures.
House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, said Thursday that he won't go
along with a proposal to cut pension costs by raising the retirement age to
67. He told The Associated Press that the change would violate the Illinois
Constitution's ban on lowering pension benefits that have already been
promised.
Madigan said he wants to move forward with requiring downstate and suburban
school districts to pay the pension costs of their teachers instead of
leaving that expense to the state. He said he wants to phase in that change.

提高房产税也没什么，反正俺家不大。天塌下来房子大的人撑着。

junior resident起义了，把一个“病人”的资料送到联邦政府审查去了。
