“The RI RTL lawsuit demonstrates a blatant disregard for the 140,000 Rhode Islanders without health coverage who will benefit from the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. It is shameful that they are pursuing this action on the heels of Rhode Island receiving $58 million to expand access to health care.
“It is both irresponsible and negligent that 28 of Rhode Island’s elected officials would sign on to this lawsuit endangering the future of health reform in Rhode Island and with it access to quality, affordable health care coverage for all.
