Help is available to certain low-income residents of Illinois who cannot afford to buy health insurance.  Medicaid, the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (IBCCP), and KidCare offer free or subsidized health insurance coverage, direct medical services or other help at little or no cost to you. 

In addition, the federal Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program provides tax credits to some workers who lose their jobs or whose work hours and wages are reduced as a result of increased imports.  This chapter provides summary information about these programs and contact information for further assistance.
