About this episode
Call the doctor: many Rhode Islanders are about to face sticker shock - again. Health insurers are looking for double-digit premium hikes, just one year after a steep increase. Is there any relief in sight? Lively host Jim Hummel discusses the balancing act between insurers and skyrocketing medical costs with Rhode Island Current reporter Nancy Lavin and Patrick Anderson of the Providence Journal.
