The League of Women Voters of Vermont strongly supports universal, state-supported health care for Vermont.
There seems to be a misconception that because Vermont Connect is having technical difficulties, administering a single-payer system will somehow be worse. There's every reason in the world to believe the opposite is true.
Under single payer, there will be:
1. No need to determine the best balance of deductibles versus premiums versus co-pays.
2. No need to submit personal financial data for a complicated algorithm to use in determining eligibility for subsidy and how much that subsidy will be.
3. No need to update that information when your circumstances change, or to go through the eligibility determination again.
Everybody in, nobody out. All you will need is to be a resident of Vermont.
How can that possibly be harder to administer than the exchange?
