And while these must be addressed, I\u2019d like to take a minute to highlight the success we\u2019ve seen in Rhode Island. Although a majority of states opted not to operate an exchange of their own, Rhode Island chose to be a leader in creating a state-driven, integrated marketplace to provide quality, affordable health insurance for its citizens.\n\u201cOn October 1, HealthSource RI, the Ocean State\u2019s online portal and health insurance marketplace, opened for business. It has successfully enrolled over 5,000 residents without many of the issues plaguing the federal website. Of course, we are still at the beginning stages of this process, and efforts are under way to improve and expand the successful rollout with many of our state partners. This has been a highly collaborative effort, and I look forward to continuing our work together so individuals, families and small businesses can shop for insurance that meets their needs based on transparent, competitive pricing and robust coverage.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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": ["http://langevin.house.gov/press-release/langevin-highlights-success-healthsource-ri"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.531414221972227, "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"}
