Question:
Does anyone know if public aid for IL will cover the WLS?

My mother is needing to have WLS so bad, but she doesn't have any insurance other than public aid.    — Snowflake_Princess (posted on August 11, 2005)

You might want to put your question on the IL board. There are a lot of ladies and men that have medicaid (I am guessing that medicaid and public aid are the same??) and have WLS.
