Health careFinding
Vermont should create a single public health plan that covers all residents.
Vermont passed a law in 2011 to plan a single-payer system but dropped the plan in 2014 over its cost. This would replace most private coverage with one state-run plan funded through taxes.
Phil Scott
Vermont took a very different approach, and the opportunity to build more options was set aside to pursue a government-run single-payer plan that failed after years of empty promises and millions of dollars.
the Legislature pursued healthcare policies, culminating in Act 48 in 2011, which directed the state to design a taxpayer-funded single-payer healthcare system.
