Vermont to Go Single Payer -- Do I Hear a Second?
Posted: 05/ 6/11 05:36 PM ET

The Vermont House of Representatives voted 94 to 49 this week to establish a Green Mountain health insurance exchange, the first step in establishing a single payer program in that State. The bill now goes to Governor Peter Shumlin's desk, who is a strong supporter of the idea.

But wait. The bill does not propose a single payer program in Vermont just yet. The bill actually directs the State to set up a health benefits exchange as required by the Affordable Care Act. Only after Green Mountain Care is up and running will the State petition the federal government to grant a waiver to establish a single payer system in the State. Much can happen between now and 2017 when the waiver request is submitted. There could be a new Governor or a new legislature in Vermont, and there will be a new administration in Washington DC by that date. The single payer community is following this legislation very carefully and urges advocates to stay involved to support the program and strengthen it..........................>>>>.........................>>>>........................http://www.huffingtonpost.com/linda-bergthold/vermont-to-go-single-paye_b_858718.html

They shouldn't have to request from the federal government to do this.  This is a state issue, not a federal issue.

..........this is just the beginning.............

anyone who thinks 'healthcare' is a right is correct.......health INSURANCE IS NOT A RIGHT.......you have every right to take care of your health the best that you can,
and make choices the best that you can....your body IS NOT my body and MEDICINE treats everyone as if their body IS the same....so if you want to line up for a
government stamped health INSURANCE plan that makes you AND I go through the same tests even though our bodies are DIFFERENT then you deserve exactly what
you receive,,,,,and that is something you dont want forced on you......

medicare has steps that healthcare workers have to follow that are REGULATIONS VIA THE GOVERNMENT that one must go through to get treatment/drugs etc....

believe you me...we will be lining up to do 'our duty' to keep ourselves healthy so the commune taxpayers dont have to be burdened by your lack of medical treatment...

get ready for the big drowning.....hurry take a deep breath before you go under, the government is gonna hold you there and then offer you a life preserver,,,it's their
form of mental waterboarding for the plebs.....
