SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (KWQC) – As federal legislation moves through Washington D.c. in hopes to trim the fat from Medicaid, Illinois Democrats are taking a stance against this move.

The majority party passed a resolution Thursday that calls on the U.S. Senate to table the health care cuts bill.

Instead, the party suggests they pursue reforms such as the Illinois’ Healthcare Protection Act which provides care to illegal immigrants.

Republican State Representative Patrick Windhorst said the resolution is “amusing.”
