Roberts bringing health-care proposal to community
PROVIDENCE -- State and local officials plan to tout a proposed health plan tomorrow at a community meeting in the city’s south end.
In the first of several planned meetings, Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Roberts and a handful of local officials will answer questions about Roberts' proposed Healthy Rhode Island Reform Act, eight bills aimed at increasing the availability of health care.
Roberts will be joined by state Sen. Juan Pichardo, Reps. Grace Diaz, Joe Almeida, Thomas Slater and Anastasia Williams, and Councilman Miguel Luna.
Roberts is also soliciting anecdotes from residents illustrating how poor or no access to health care has affected their lives.
The public meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. tomorrow at Ada's Creations, at 1137 Broad St.

Roberts is a socialist crackpot. Going to a rally as an elected official to rail against Carcieri, standing alongside a group called "Stop The Hate." Stop what hate? And now she brings Pichardo, Luna, Diaz, and Williams along with her to unveil "Her Health Plan." These four aforementioned folks are virulent race baiters, but Roberts will do and say anything to get attention, and the support of liberals. You geniuses should have voted Cool Moose, and you wouldn't have this publicity hound wasting taxpayer dollars.
