I must admit that the medical field has disappointed me on several occasions. "On average in Illinois, hospitals are charging the uninsured 200 percent above costs," said Paul Gaynor, chief of the state Attorney General's public interest division. "What this legislation does is it brings the actual charges more in line with the insured." But I'm happy to report this new law will take effect
