Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are using every lever to provoke our communities and incite chaos.

If Trump and Noem wanted to help Illinoisans, they would work with us — not against us — to protect public safety.
