As the deadline for enrollment to Get Covered Illinois approaches, representatives and volunteers hopped on a bus as part of the Get Covered Illinois “Road 2 Coverage” tour to meet with families across the Chicagoland area in order to increase enrollment and better educate them about the benefits of signing up. Most recently, Get Covered representatives drove into Humboldt Park to meet with numerous families who still had questions. The “Road 2 Coverage” tour will continue to travel in the coming weeks in areas known to have high numbers of uninsured residents.
