This Town Meeting Day, Vermont towns consider calling for universal health care

The question Mayer, Oxfeld and Palmer put forth asks whether each town should call upon the Vermont Legislature to take up and vote on a bill that proposes a multi-phased implementation of universal primary care in Vermont…. The bill in question, H.433, outlines a plan for a publicly financed health care program, Green Mountain Care. The program would begin by offering all Vermonters universal primary care and then phase in other services, like dental, vision and maternal health care over a 10-year timeline.
