I feel sorry for the Butler workers who are on strike. The root cause of the problem is that Rhode Island has Medicaid reimbursement that is often below cost, and private health insurance reimbursement about 30% below neighboring states. The whole health care system in Rhode Island is unravelling because of decisions made at the State House.
