Vermont Patients Can Look Forward To NHS Quality
IBD's Capital Hill ^ | 2/25/2011 | David Hogberg

As Capital Hill noted last month, Vermont looks to be on the way to establishing a single-payer health care system.

The single-payer fever is spreading throughout New England. This week the head of MassHealth, Massachusetts’ Medicaid program, said he favors a single-payer system too.

New Englanders would do well to point-and-click their way over to “Patient Opinion”, a website that collects both compliments and complaints about the National Health Service in the United Kingdom.

Can some non-NE clear out a corner of his basement for me? Please? I don’t take up much space and I make a mean grilled-pastrami-sub.

We could zero out our debt by selling New England (excluding NH) to Canada.

This how Vermont’s legislators feel about their constituents.

Note the condescending attitude in Montpelier.

They find the concerns of “their employers” funny.

Personally I say if Vermont wants to try this, let ‘em.
It will be such a spectacular failure it will take socialized medicine back off of the national agenda for another 40, 50 years.
