New customers can purchase plans, and existing customers can change their plan selections during this time without needing a qualifying life event.\n\nHSRI has served nearly 161,000 Rhode Islanders since its inception in 2013, roughly mirroring the proportion of 1 in 7 Americans, or about 50 million individuals, served by state and federal exchanges nationwide. HSRI\u2019s role in connecting Rhode Islanders to coverage has been booming in recent months, with enrollment swelling to an all-time high of more than 46,000 in its individual and family plan offerings, and an additional 8,200 lives covered through its small employers arm serving local businesses and nonprofits with access to small group plans. Recent findings of its Health Information Survey put Rhode Island\u2019s uninsured rate at a remarkably low 2.2%, among the best in the nation.\n\n\u201cEvery Rhode Islander deserves access to affordable, high-quality healthcare,\u201d said Rep. Seth Magaziner. \u201cThe Affordable Care Act has expanded health coverage for tens of thousands of people in our state, and I will continue fighting to protect this lifesaving law from those who seek to repeal it.\u201d\n\nAs the only place Rhode Islanders can receive financial help to pay for their health coverage, HSRI plays a vital role in connecting customers to quality coverage. Currently, 6 out of 7 HSRI customers receive financial assistance, and nearly a third of customers pay less than $10 per month for their health coverage. For 2025, customers can choose from an array of 20 health plans and seven dental plans, all provided by well-known insurance carriers, when shopping through the marketplace. Cost-comparison tools on the HealthSource RI website and an abundance of phone, web-based and in-person support options make it convenient to get help when reviewing plans.\n\n\u201cHealthSource RI is proud to serve an important role in connecting so many Rhode Islanders to quality coverage,\u201d said HSRI Director Lindsay Lang. \u201cHaving the coverage you need for preventive care, or treatment when you or your loved one are sick, is a vital stabilizing tool for families and individuals, across all walks of life. With more than a decade of experience as a trusted guide, HSRI is here to help ensure our fellow Rhode Islanders have that peace of mind.\u201d\n\nAlong with Magaziner and Lang, Joanne McGunagle, President & CEO of CCAP, whose trained navigators assist community members at numerous locations statewide in the application process for coverage through both HealthSource RI and Medicaid, spoke to the importance of high-quality health coverage for patients in order to seek preventative health care and maintain healthier communities.\n\n\u201cAs the major provider of health care in the City of Cranston, we know how vitally important it is for our patients to have access to affordable health insurance. CCAP is proud to have our Navigators working directly with patients to assist with enrollment in health insurance, in collaboration with RIHCA and HealthsourceRI. HealthSource RI provides expert staff to assist them in selecting a plan that makes sense for them and their families. With diminishing availability of medical providers, having health insurance gives them a step up and more options to receive care. We are grateful to Congressman Magaziner for championing this most valued service for the most vulnerable,\u201d said Joanne McGunagle, President & CEO of CCAP.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://magaziner.house.gov/media/press-releases/magaziner-healthsource-ri-kick-2025-open-enrollment-rhode-islands-state-based"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 3.0102699529379606, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
