Synopsis As Introduced Creates the Illinois Long-Term Care Partnership Program Act. Establishes the Illinois Long-Term Care Partnership Program to: (i) provide incentives for individuals to insure against the costs of providing for their long-term care needs; (ii) provide a mechanism for individuals to qualify for coverage of the cost of their long-term care needs under Medicaid without first being required to substantially exhaust their resources; (iii) provide counseling services to individuals planning for their long-term care needs; and (iv) alleviate the financial burden on the State's medical assistance program by encouraging the pursuit of private initiatives.
