The cause has to do with malpractice lawsuits and the way the two states deal with them ~ Illinois gives away the store to the lawyers ~ Indiana protects the doctors.
The result is Illinois attracts more lawyers and Indiana now has America's fifth largest medical industry (behind only Florida, California, New York and Texas ~ all far larger states).
