As a foreigner living in Chicago, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Chicago if they have access to public healthcare in Chicago. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Chicago, you will have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Chicago is managed by the Cook County Health and Hospitals System, which provides a range of services including primary care, specialty care, mental health services, and emergency care. The system also offers a variety of programs to help uninsured and underinsured individuals access care. The system is staffed by a team of experienced healthcare professionals who are dedicated to providing quality care to all patients," explained one expat living in Chicago, the United States.
