FactVote uses the Census Bureau's HIC-4_ACS historical table. Rates and 90% confidence margins of error are the published ACS 1-year estimates for the civilian noninstitutionalized population. ACS annual estimates, all ages. Standard ACS 2020 one-year data were not released; the chart leaves a gap. Survey ranks describe point estimates and do not establish significant differences. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.

How major events are selected

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.

Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

People under 65 without health insurance

8.1%2024 ACS annual estimate

Share of Illinois’s civilian noninstitutionalized residents under age 65 who lacked comprehensive health-insurance coverage at the time of the ACS survey.

This source snapshot keeps its own definition and period. A rank shown elsewhere applies only to that comparison’s measure and period.

Method and limitations

U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts estimate derived from the American Community Survey.

  • This excludes people age 65 and older and is a annual survey estimate rather than a current enrollment count.
  • Insurance status does not measure affordability, provider availability, coverage adequacy, or quality of care.

Life expectancy at birth

FactVote uses CDC National Center for Health Statistics annual complete life-table estimates for the total Illinois population. Values are rounded to the published tenth of a year.

The latest published comparable state series ends in 2022, even though newer national life-expectancy estimates may be available. Period life expectancy summarizes current mortality rates; it is not a forecast of how long a particular person will live. The 2020 and 2021 estimates reflect the mortality shock during the COVID-19 pandemic.

How statements are selected

This section matches specific health coverage, healthcare costs, access to care and public health terms in retained, attributed source text from published Illinois candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.

Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

ATTORNEY GENERAL RAOUL LEADS COALITION OPPOSING TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S ROLLBACK OF COMMONSENSE FIREARMS REGULATIONS

Aug 10, 2026 · Proposed policy

Attorney General Kwame Raoul · Issued

FactVote reviewed summary

Chicago – Attorney General Kwame Raoul has led a coalition of 23 attorneys general warning that the Trump administration’s rollback of commonsense firearms regulations will endanger their communities, many of which – like Chicago – have seen levels of gun violence drop dramatically in recent years.In May, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) announced the “most comprehensive regulatory reform package in the history of ATF,” splitting its broad deregulatory effort into 34 different rule-making notices. As Raoul and the coalition show in their comment letters responding to this barrage, the so-called “reform package” unlawfully abdicates ATF’s responsibility…

Published by the official office

Why this record is included

The official record directly addresses firearms, ammunition, firearm access, carrying, storage, enforcement, or gun-violence prevention. It does not establish an effect on Illinois's firearm mortality count or rate.

Retained Illinois evidence context: Firearm deaths. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

Although the ATF’s notices say that none of these rules were drafted directly or indirectly by any member of the gun industry, its promotional materials and the gun industry associations themselves say otherwise, announcing it as an effort in “partnership with the gun industry,” even as the industry stands to profit from these changes at the expense of public safety.“With these proposals, the Trump administration is attempting to abandon a plethora of federal firearm safety rules, many of which were bipartisan,…

FactVote reviewed summary

Chicago – Attorney General Kwame Raoul, as part of a coalition of 22 attorneys general and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, today filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to block the Trump administration from enforcing the “Defund Provision” in the recently enacted federal budget reconciliation law. The Defund Provision was designed to exclude Planned Parenthood facilities and other health centers that provide abortions from receiving federal Medicaid reimbursements, even though federal dollars do not pay for abortions. The excluded centers also provide essential health care services to low-income patients who receive Medicaid, including cancer screenings, testing for and treatment of…

Retained Illinois evidence context: Induced pregnancy terminations reported in Illinois. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

The Defund Provision will cause the most harm to those who need Planned Parenthood the most: women, low-income residents, LGBTQ+ individuals and communities of color – all of whom deserve access to the screenings, wellness exams and other care Planned Parenthood provides.”Today’s motion is the latest action Attorney General Raoul has taken to protect access to reproductive care.

Chicago – Attorney General Kwame Raoul issued the following statement after the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted a preliminary injunction finding that Illinois and a coalition of states were likely to succeed on their claim that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) decision to provide the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with unfettered access to individual personally-identifying information violates the Administrative Procedure Act’s prohibition on arbitrary and capricious rulemaking.

It is a critical tool that will help us protect Illinois’ most vulnerable residents, who will be disproportionately impacted by this violation of their trust,” Raoul said. “Medicaid recipients were playing by the rules when they provided sensitive personal information, and that information should not now be weaponized against those who rely on Medicaid for their health coverage.”On July 1, Raoul and a multistate coalition filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration arguing that the mass transfer of Medicaid…

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current Illinois officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.

Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Illinois statistic. Collection reviewed Oct 5, 2026.
