I love Providence, but I don't think any place is worth your health. Why not just live 5 minutes across the border?

I have had good experiences on private insurance here, but to reinforce what others have said, the best and most qualified specialist I have ever had was abruptly laid off along with the whole team because their specialty was too costly (and not an uncommon one! Common like gynecology). Now all the former patients seem to drive to Boston to see them since we'd never find someone to replace this doctor here.

RI's loss.
