"Vermont?s plan says, single payer is the most effective way to get universal coverage as well as control the health care cost escalation." And they went away from fee for service, so they're actually ahead of Canada in that respect. Good for them, maybe it's the beginning of the end of the insanity in the US, as they finally figure out they can't afford the system they've got. And good for them for making coverage universal.
