Capri Catanzaro completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Catanzaro's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- RI Comprehensive Health Insurance Program - No one should have to rely on luck to survive. RICHIP info: https://capriforri.com/richip
- Education - Pass a state constitutional amendment guaranteeing every child the right to a quality education.
- Local Business & Housing - Remove the corporate minimum tax, and building affordable housing for our recent grads to stay and work in RI, for our elderly & disabled residents, and for all the working families who choose to raise their families in our state.
In fact, not only could we have comprehensive coverage, we could have it for a lower cost than our current health care expenditures. Savings under the Rhode Island Comprehensive Health Insurance Program (RICHIP) is estimated at about 23% of current expenditures in the first year with greater savings in subsequent years.
The existing health system involves multiple private health insurance companies, called a multiple-payer system. Sticking with our multiple-payer system means we will continue to pay more for less.
The complexity and redundancy in RI’s current multiple-payer system costs millions of dollars per year to maintain and is the major cause of underinsurance, high premiums, high deductibles, and the need for supplemental insurance.
RICHIP saves residents about $4K/year on their medical expenses within ten years of passage. A state agency administers RICHIP. Every qualified Rhode Island resident has their choice of hospital, doctor, and pharmacy; there are no “networks.”
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
