Daniel J. McKee was sworn in as the 76th Governor of Rhode Island on March 2, 2021. As lieutenant governor from 2015 to 2021, Dan focused on creating more economic opportunities for all Rhode Island families and building solvent communities.
One year after Governor Raimondo established the Working Group to Reinvent Medicaid, Rhode Island is positioned to expand and improve access to quality care and reduce costs.
The state is projected to achieve over $100 million of annual Medicaid savings without cutting eligibility or reducing benefits.
These reforms protect and expand vital health services and shift the state's Medicaid system toward a structure that rewards better outcomes, better coordination and higher-quality care.
