SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS (May 7, 2019) — A critical bill for Illinois patients will be heard May 8 by the Senate Insurance Committee in Springfield. Led by chief sponsor Senator Laura Fine (D-Glenview), HB2174 requires that health insurers offer co-pay only options for prescription drugs, reducing the up-front burden of deductibles and helping patients be able to better plan and budget for their health-care expenses.
