YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDemocracyNow.org - Set to be implemented by 2017, Vermont's healthcare overhaul goes well beyond the new federal law. The Vermont Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, enacted last month, will make Vermont the first state in the nation to offer single-payer healthcare. On Thursday, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin hailed the Supreme Court decision upholding the federal Affordable Care Act, but he said Vermont would probably be least impacted by it. "We've had a long history of healthcare reform and a real priority of taking care of our citizens," says Robin Lunge, Vermont's Director of Health Care Reform. "We're not interested in waiting for the nation to catch up with us."
