Small Group Health Insurance Reform in Rhode Island: Promises and Pitfalls of the HEALTHpact Plan

Categories: | |

Topics: Employer-Sponsored Coverage | Health Care Reform | State Data

This article published in Health Services Research examined Rhode Island's HEALTHpact plan, an insurance plan for small business employees. The study focused on low enrollment in the plan and found that this stemmed from business owners fearing high costs while also being unable to explain the plan to their employees.
