Rhode Island has a primary care problem. Health Insurance Commissioner Cory King has a plan.

Rhode Island is facing a troubling decline in the number of residents with a primary care doctor for non-urgent health issues, according to a recent report by the Office of the Health Insurance Commissioner. This drop over the past decade signals broader issues in access to healthcare, potentially leading to worse health outcomes and higher costs. Commissioner Cory King has proposed a plan to address this gap, aiming to improve primary care access and overall health in the state. The plan's success could set a precedent for tackling similar healthcare challenges across the nation.
