Wonder how Rhode Island can address strained healthcare and provider shortages? This episode explores transparency, data, and collaboration as practical paths forward.
Lindsay O’Neill-O’Keefe sits down with Rhode Island gubernatorial candidate Aaron Guckian to discuss the state’s healthcare challenges and practical approaches to addressing them. Guckian describes a fiscal platform that invites frontline and union workers to identify savings, his oral-health initiatives, and a proposed dental loss ratio bill requiring insurers to disclose reimbursement data. He also discusses a loan repayment program to retain new doctors, collaborative leadership, and his ten years of sobriety and the importance of reaching out for help.
