Urge Illinois lawmakers to oppose House Bill 62

Dear Officials:

- I strongly urge you to oppose House Bill 62, the Health Care for All Illinois Act, which would take away all our private health insurance plans and replace them with a one-size-fits-all plan run by government. The message of this bill is this: “If you like your health plan, tough luck.” Illinois needs reforms to provide reliable and affordable health care, but a complete government takeover of health care is not the answer. HB 62 would:
  o Outlaw the private health insurance plans that most Illinoisans currently enjoy.
  o Push Illinoisans into a one-size-fits-all, substandard insurance plan run out of Springfield.
  o Shortchange hospitals already in danger of closing – especially in rural and underserved minority communities.
  o Raise taxes substantially.
  Instead of creating a new state health care program from scratch, state leaders should work to lift barriers that keep costs high and prevent health care providers and medical professionals from meeting the needs of patients.
  Thank you for opposing House Bill 62!

In 2019 Gov. Pritzker and General Assembly members from both parties signed into law a bill doubling the gasoline tax and implementing automatic annual increases tied to inflation.

As a result, Illinoisans have the 2nd highest average gasoline taxes in the nation at 59.56 cents per gallon. Because of automatic annual increases our gas taxes are set to increase another 6 cents per gallon by July 2023, even with the 6 month delay touted by Gov. Pritzker. (Source)

Illinois residents already pay the highest state and local taxes in the nation. According to WalletHub.com, Illinois had the highest total state and local tax rates on a median U.S. household, at 15.1%, a rate that’s nearly 40% higher than the national average.

In 2022, the General Assembly & Governor Pritzker signed a law which delayed further gas tax hikes by 6 months, and forced gas station owners to post sticker on pumps about the tax hike delay. If gas station owners don’t comply they could face daily fines of up to $500. No such stickers have been or will be required to notify motorists of past or future gas tax hikes.
