Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Tuesday signed into law a wide-ranging bill promoting health care equity for Black, Hispanic and low-income patients by enhancing mental health services, requiring bias training for doctors and creating a community health worker program. This legislation advances a key belief of mine that I know is shared by everyone standing with me and millions of residents across Illinois â health care is a right, not a privilege, Pritzker said at a bill-signing ceremony for House Bill 158 in Springfield at Memorial Medical Center s Memorial Center for Learning and Innovation. Justice isn t just about what happens in a courtroom, the governor said. Justice is access to economic opportunity, to a great education, and yes, to affordable, quality, personalized health care. It s about recognizing that communities across our state have been left out and left behind, and then doing something about that.
