  • Following the Supreme Court’s upholding of the Affordable Care Act in 2012, Lincoln Chafee said in a press release, “It is an economic imperative that we address the problem of uninsured Rhode Islanders and rising healthcare costs. I'm confident of the clear path forward that we have marked to achieve universal coverage for Rhode Islanders, and now we can get back to that important work with this decision behind us.”[1]
  • Rhode Island also adopted Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, although Chafee sought to reduce spending on Medicaid by $43 million in his final budget.[2][3]
