Share Your Health Care Story with Sheldon Whitehouse, US Senator

Sheldon Whitehouse has launched a new web page to help Rhode Islanders share their experiences with RI's health care system, and their ideas about what we can do to repair it.

The new online Health Care Storyboard features personal stories from Rhode Islanders who have struggled to find affordable health insurance for themselves or their families, or who have received inadequate or inefficient care.
