Across the board, no matter the party affiliation, Illinoisans support bringing costs for medications down for everyone.
People walk outside the House chamber while legislators are in session Feb. 20, 2024, at the Illinois State Capitol. are suffering from at least one chronic condition or disease. Seniors are also prescribed more medication than any other age group, withpublished in the last few years showed 27% of Illinois adults have rationed their medication by skipping a dose or splitting a pill in half or have gone without medication due to the skyrocketing cost of prescription medication.
Worry about medication affordability isn’t contained to party lines. We both marked and reviewed our ballots, then printed them so they could be mailed back since we have no way to return them electronically. That is not permitted under Illinois election law, despite the fact that more than 30 states, a majority of the country, provide this option for military and overseas voters, voters with print-related disabilities or both.
All we want is the same ability to choose the voting option that works for us, whether that is voting by mail, early voting or voting in person on Election Day. We urge all reading this to call Illinois Senate President Don Harmon and their state senator and representative and tell them we need electronic ballot return for voters with disabilities, and we need it now!
