Gov. Quinn welcomes health insurance ‘co-op’

CHICAGO – Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn is welcoming the news that a nonprofit organization plans to offer health insurance in the state starting in 2014.

The new nonprofit – called Land of Lincoln Health – announced last week it is applying for a state license and has received a $160 million federal loan to begin operations.

In a statement Monday, Quinn called the announcement “another positive step to provide the people of Illinois more choices” in health care.
