...Rhode Islanders who gathered in Providence's Roger Williams Park last week for an old-fashioned "Sunday in the Park" had a birthday to celebrate. In ten years, the Blue Cross (hospital insurance) plan had covered 532,000 subscribers-70% of all Rhode Islanders and 75% of all eligibles. In no other state had the plan been so successful.
