TPL helps pass the Healthcare Protection Act

With significant work from TPL as part of the Protect Our Care coalition, Illinois passed the Healthcare Protection Act! This win is an important step toward regulating health insurance corporations: it prevents them from requiring prior authorizations in an important set of mental health crises, it ends the use of “ghost networks” where insurers claim to have a long list of doctors you can see but none of them are taking new patients, and it and bans junk insurance plans that don’t actually provide care.
