- Abstract
The article offers information on the paper "Rhode Island Health Plans' Performance Report (2007)" established by the Health Care Accessibility and Quality Assurance Act in Rhode Island to provide information about health plan performance. The paper depicts that the commercial health insurance market of the state is still focused on Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Rhode Island, and on United Healthcare of New England Inc. It is stated that most Rhode Islanders have limited choice of carrier due to the small number of health plans in the state and the marker dominance of Blue Cross.
