BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois (BCBSIL) has proposed legislation that would require small businesses with 2-50 employees to provide health insurance for their employees. Under the proposal, all private health insurers in the state of Illinois would have to participate in the program.
BCBSIL estimates that about 500,000 people would be interested in participating in the program, adding that about 1.1 million of the 1.7 million uninsured state residents are employed or have a family member who is employed.
BCBSIL is seeking sponsors in Springfield for the program and will be looking for additional input on the proposal from small businesses and small-business organizations.
