Their population and territory shrank during the 1700s because of warfare and disease.

The state is the most populous in the Midwest, and the fifth most populous in the nation.

Illinois' high risk pool, the Illinois Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan (ICHIP), became operational in 1989. ICHIP operates two programs: The traditional CHIP covers medically uninsurable and is funded by premiums paid by participants and state general funds and in 2004 premiums were set at 143 percent of the average charged for comparable coverage; and HIPAA-CHIP covers HIPAA and HCTC qualified individuals and is funded through member premiums and an assessment on the insurance industry. In 2004, federal grant funds helped offset premium. Premiums are set at 135 percent of the average charges for comparable services. At the end of 2004, 16,409 persons were enrolled in the program.
