THE FOLLOWING RELEASE IS FROM STATE SENATOR ROSE’S OFFICE
Springfield, IL–State Sen. Chapin Rose (R-Mahomet) issued the following statement following Health Alliance announcing their plan to cease operations by 2026 :
“I am shocked, stunned, and saddened to learn of this. The affected employees, their families, and the tens of thousands of local insureds who rely on Health Alliance for access to care are foremost on my mind. My office will stand by to try and help in any way we can in job training and recruitment efforts for the impacted employees.
“Moreover, I have already reached out to the state’s CMS Director, who is in charge of the group health insurance contract under Gov. Pritzker, to see what healthcare options will be available come open enrollment in May for the countless families who currently utilize Health Alliance for their insurance provider.
“Continuity of care and access to trusted physicians must be the priority as thousands of local members will now be forced to find a new insurance carrier. Being able to choose your medical care team going forward is an absolute imperative.”
