On July 6, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn named Michael McRaith, an openly gay man, as the director of the newly created Department of Insurance. As a result of Governor Quinn's Executive Order 4, the Department of Insurance ( DOI ) separated from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation ( IDFPR ) June 1.
While previously serving as director of the Division of Insurance and Acting Secretary of IDFPR, McRaith assisted in developing and advocating for health insurance modernization both in Illinois and on the national level.
In addition, Quinn has asked Brent Adams—also openly gay—to serve as Acting Secretary of Financial and Professional Regulation. The department deals with institutions ranging from banks to pharmacies ( and associated issues, such as birth-control prescriptions ) .
