3. it's going to revolutionize a lot of things in chicago.

anyone on medicade in cook county is enrolled in countycare, which is an hmo.
they offer more extensive preventive care.
just one thing this will do is to help the cook county jail stabilize the "frequent flyers", mentally ill, often homeless, in about out too quick to help them get stable, but right back in quickly.
now they will get hooked up with regular medications and social services.

we have a great county board, and they are really dying to implement to the max. health care and untreated mentally ill are such HUGE drags on the county.
