VERMONT
Study
- In 2010, the Vermont legislature commissioned Dr. William Hsiao, a Harvard health economist, to design a health care system for the state that would provide equal health access for every Vermont resident, control health care costs, and increase primary health care services in the state. Dr. Hsiao released his final report on February 17, 2011. *View the complete report below (the 10-page Executive Summary at the beginning of the report offers a good overview)
- Hsiao’s final report (READ) confirms what countless other studies (READ) have shown: a single-payer system covers more and costs less. *View the MUHCC one-page summary below.
Legislation
- The Vermont legislature is acting on this information, and is working on a single-payer bill for the state. Get the latest updates!
