Understanding Medicaid Renewal and "Unwinding" 
What is Medicaid Renewal and “Unwinding”?
Before the pandemic, people who enrolled in Medicaid had their eligibility reviewed once a year. This is called “Renewal” or “Redetermination”. During the pandemic, to make sure that people did not lose health coverage, no one needed to renew their Medicaid benefits. This included seniors, people with disabilities, adults, children and families.

RI -- Are you prepared?
Costly energy policies mandated and enacted in an impossible time frame by the RI General Assembly will greatly impact our wallets. Our energy infrastructure in RI is not ready to take on the electric energy surge and there are no safety nets for our residents, despite GOP efforts to enact common sense measures. Here is a comparison between gas and electric vehicles.

We can do better.

About rhode island house republicans


In 1636, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, established the first working model of Democracy after being banished from Massachusetts for his “extreme views” concerning freedom of speech and religion. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams publicly acknowledged Williams as the originator of these concepts, along with the freedom of public assembly, in the First Amendment in the United States Constitution. Today, Rhode Island House Republicans uphold the liberties designed by our Founders and preserved in our Constitution, and are the primary legislative body promoting lean government, fighting for lower taxes, and advocating for initiatives and policies that improve the economy and in turn, the lives of Rhode Islanders.  As members of a part-time assembly, we are small business owners, retired educators, community activists, lawyers, farmers, military service veterans, volunteers, former local officials, retired social workers, coaches, musicians, churchgoers and board directors -- bringing these community engagement and professional experiences to our work, on your behalf, at the Rhode Island State House.
