PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Business owners will get a chance to voice their concerns about the cost of health care with two of Rhode Island's elected leaders. Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Roberts plans to meet Monday in Warwick with owners of small, mid-size and large businesses to discuss cost increases proposed by the state's insurers. A Democrat, Roberts is considering a run for governor in 2010. Later, U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse will meet with small business owners in Providence to hear their concerns about the health care system. Whitehouse, a Democrat, was recently named a temporary member of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
