Vermont Senate Passes Legislation That Moves State Toward Single-Payor Health System | News & Analysis
Was listening to a debate on NPR on this issue this morning as I was driving to schol. The article isn't too big on details but I'm sure a bit more googling give anyone who's interested deeper insight into the situation and what the legislation covers.
The Vermont Senate has followed the House by passing legislation that would create the first steps toward a single-payor health system, according to a Bloomberg Businessweek report.
The legislation, which is supported by Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin, would set up a healthcare coverage exchange and a universal health insurance program for the state. The differences in the Senate and House bills are expected to be worked out in conference committee, according to the report.
