MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Forty-eight members of the Vermont House of Representatives have introduced a bill that would pave the way for publicly-financed health care for all state residents beginning in 2023.
Progressive Rep. Brian Cina says the bill picks up from a previous universal health care bill. The Times Argus reports the bill brings together various stakeholders, asking them to come up with an operational plan and funding mechanics for universal health care by January 2020.
The plan would only be implemented if it didn’t increase administrative costs and if it provides reimbursement for primary care costs that attract a sufficient number of primary care providers.
