I am a resident of Windham County concerned about health care and the status of Act 48, Vermont's universal health-care act.
The act was passed by Vermont's Legislature in 2011 and was scheduled to be funded by 2017. Its funding is long overdue. Accessible, affordable, and comprehensive health care must remain a major focus and priority for our state.
I am a senior citizen, but proper health-care coverage is a universal need for all Vermont residents of all ages and walks of life.
In Medicare Part B, under the federal government, there remain deductions, co-pays, and ancillary expenses that are unpredictable and beyond the resources of patients who live on limited fixed incomes. Difficulties also exist for younger residents who do not yet qualify for Medicare.
