Weirdly enough I have a couple friends who say they have masshealth and a RI address and aren’t even trying to hide it, like their paperwork even has their RI addresses. But I’m not touching that with a 10 foot pole lol.

Thanks, a lot of people have told me finding a doctor is impossible. I didn’t realize it would be so bad. It’s such a catch 22, rent here in mass is abysmal but the healthcare is so good, meanwhile the rent in providence is noticeably cheaper but without healthcare that means nothing…

Haha thank you. The reward had me laughing out loud

I am thinking about living on the edge of it too, depends on a handful of factors with this one being the biggest. It’s not a bad idea!

I’m coming to Rhode Islands titties sorry

I am looking for personal stories like this because I feel like they paint a picture that Google results/plain facts really can’t. Appreciate it! Sorry that happened to you. I definitely have had those vibes in the past where I could tell a doctor was just waiting for their lunch break talking to me..

Thank you!! I have tufts masshealth rn and they’re the best I’ve ever had so that’s good to know.

Because I want your money specifically :)

Thank you for such a detailed response! This explains why everything I’ve read online/personal accounts from friends/people have been so unbelievably varied and I can’t figure out what’s ‘accurate’ and what’s not. I’ve had people tell me it’s absurdly easy and people tell me it’s not even worth trying. I am definitely saving this comment and going back to it when it’s closer to moving time.

Masshealth has really been a godsend and I will definitely miss it a lot, It’s really the only thing holding me back from moving lol.

I work full time and can pay my rent in Mass so I can pay rent in Rhode Island. Not buying a house. I have the renting part figured out, I’m asking about healthcare.

Medicaid does not pay rent. Hope this helps!
