(Providence, RI) -- The contractor behind the much-maligned UHIP system in Rhode Island is issuing an apology. Officials from Deloitte testified for the first time at a State House hearing on UHIP at a House Oversight Committee hearing on Thursday night. They told legislators they were sorry for the impact the issues had on residents who were looking to sign up for things like Medicaid, food stamps and other assistance programs. Deloitte said at last night's hearing that it would have been a good idea in retrospect to go through a test-run before launching the system in September 2016.
