Vermont DID IT!

[Mr. Shaman]

May 26, 2011​

"Last month, the Vermont Senate passed legislation, approved earlier by the House, that would establish a single payer health care system in the state. The legislation would make Vermont the first state in the nation to, as Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) said, make health care “a right and not a privilege.”

The governor’s office just confirmed for ThinkProgress that Shumlin signed the legislation into law this morning, making the state the first in American history to pass legislation that will establish a single payer health care system to provide care to all citizens."

Shumlin Makes Health Care History​

Congratulations Vermont! You're going to be exporting working Americans and importing welfare seekers. Don't expect the rest of America to bail you out when you start to reap the consequences of this kind of fiscal irresponsibility.

Won't be moving to Vermont when I get out of this rat race and my kids are grown and off child support

Well, Vermont was forced to do it by the Federal Government. The only way that states can cover as many people as ObamaCare is by using ObamaCare’s tactic of forcing people to buy exorbitantly costly health insurance. And if they’re not going to use an individual mandate, the only remaining option is a single-payer health care system.

Isn't this great? Federal laws are fueling the relentless growth in the cost of health care and Obama is forcing States to make it even costlier. I'm sure that makes sense to the mentally challenged.

What will the right do when this system proves a great success?

They don't care. When it fails they'll just blame the rich right wingers for not paying their fair share.

^Knows nothing about Vermont's plan.

heres your problem rigthies.

These systems do work and they have worked better than the system we have now in this country.

The facts are that the US spends more than anyone and gets a much lower level of care than other countries who have single payer.

Its not a matter of IF it will work better , It will and has proven over and over again to work better.

 

[P F Tinmore]

Single payer is the least expensive system.

 

[8537]

and for the record, Vermont did not pass a single-payer healthcare plan. We passed a framework proposal to move towards such a system over the next several years.

Bullshit. This is what is going to make our level of care decrease. Peddle that shit elsewhere.

I'm sure they thought the same thing, in Canada, until they found-out how well it worked....

I will be very curious to see how this turns out. But the good kind of curious, not the morbib "how bad is it gonna fail" curious.

I always supported the idea of a state based single payer system. It's god to see that one state is trying it out before the feds shoved a messed up version on the whole county.

Not at all. This is just one state and it will take a good number of years before an accurate snapshot of the program can be evaluated.

And besides, all of the mandated business that they'll get from Obamacare should keep them afloat for a long time.

Should be interesting to see how it fares in VT.

I wonder if the legislature decided this or if the taxpayers voted it in??

I'm willing to bet the former is the case.
