The governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, announced Wednesday he will revise a bill to allow parents to have their children on their health plan until age 26, the Chicago Tribune reports.

 

Blagojevich says he's identified more than 50 bills he can revise as part of his “Rewrite to Do Right” campaign, through which he aims to get healthcare coverage for the more than 300,000 uninsured residents between the ages of 19 and 25.

 

The governor announced that the revision also would allow parents to keep their children on their health plan until age 30 if those children are veterans.
