Vermont health care reform
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2011, the Vermont state government enacted a law functionally establishing the first state-level single-payer health care system in the United States. Green Mountain Care, established by the passage of H.202, creates a system in the state where Vermonters receive universal health care coverage as well as technological improvements to the existing system.
On December 17, 2014, Governor Peter Shumlin announced that Vermont would abandon its plan for single-payer health care, citing "potential economic disruption."[1]
