I have friends on Medicaid with no coverage issues and I've paid for RI's health insurance and didn't have issues until I decided to choose BCBS one year because it sounded better on paper.

But personally, I would be concerned about having to switch doctors. Maybe I just suck at being an adult but finding a new doctor here is a nightmare because of how far out new patients are booked. I once had to wait so long for an appointment with a new PCP that I completely misplaced where it was and who it was with.

Providence is a great city and I do love my home but moving to Rhode Island does come with some hurdles.
