Vermont takes advantage of ACA provision, on track for single payer by 2017!

[mota bhai 2,675]

[Vermont] is going ahead with plans for a single-payer non-profit system to be implemented by 2017.

Back in 2011, the Vermont legislature passed and Governor Peter Shumlin (D) signed the single-payer goal into law, which has its signifying slogan: "Everybody in, nobody out."

This "Medicare for all" precedent was made possible by the latitude allowed in the ACA for states to create their own health insurance models.

Vermont went Communist a long, long time ago.

Speaking of Vermont commies, did you hear Bernie Sanders wants to run for President in 2016?

Gary, of Gary and Alla fame, repeatedly tells us about Vermont's Single Payer System since it was first passed into law.

Why you bringing it up today ? It's old news. I would suggest to you that this topic is redundant.
