Your Story Matters
It’s simple: We all deserve access to healthcare we can afford. We can’t let the progress we’ve made so far be undone. The voices of every-day people are needed to combat proposals in Congress to cut $880 billion in Medicaid that would strip healthcare away from thousands of Rhode Islanders and new rules being vetted in Washington to gut access to tax credit subsidies people rely on to buy plans on HealthSource RI (HSRI).
It's the experiences of people like you that will make a difference!
However you access healthcare or get health insurance, your story will help bring the experiences of Rhode Islanders' to decision-makers and help identify effective solutions through advocacy and education.
If you, or someone you know, has...
- bought health insurance thinking you were covered, only to find out that a service you needed was not covered;
- lost Medicaid coverage due to cumbersome paperwork or missed notifications;
- not filled a prescription, skipped a recommended test or follow-up, or had a medical problem but did not go to the doctor because you could not afford to;
- have insurance but had trouble paying your medical bills or struggled to pay off a large amount of medical debt;
- experienced some other health care coverage related problem; or
- have a positive story to share about how having access to health insurance and health services has changed your life...
...then we want to hear from you!
