The Illinois House Tuesday voted in favor of legislation which amends the covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act. HB 5736 changes the repeal date from July 1, 2016 to October 1, 2019. 

State Representative Bill Mitchell (R-Forsyth) was one of those who stood on the House floor and encouraged his colleagues to vote no on the bill. He says this is another example of the State of Illinois becoming more dysfunctional.

Rep. Mitchell calls the bill the height of irresponsibility. He explains this bill spends $320-million for illegal immigrants.

The legislation was approved on a vote of 77-38.
