In health care, the House aims to tackle rising costs through measures like a reinsurance program to lower premiums and a drug pricing bill to control pharmaceutical costs. Tax reforms are also on the agenda, with plans to reduce the tangible tax on businesses, eliminate the litter tax, and adjust the exemption for the car tax. These priorities reflect a comprehensive approach to improving living conditions, health care affordability, and economic relief for Rhode Islanders.
