Illinois Health Connect appears to be a program to save the state money on Medicaid by having Medicaid recipients go to a coordinating primary care doctor. Many medical conditions are cheaper to treat if caught early, but the kind of people who are on Medicaid tend to put off seeking the advice of a doctor. A classic example of this (although I think it is covered by a different program) is pap smears, which catch cervical cancer early. The coordinating doctor also helps avoid duplicate procedures and tests.

A Google News search only found 9 articles about Illinois Health Connect, so it seems to be relatively uncontroversial.
