Thanks to Stuart for good constituent service

BRATTLEBORO — I want your readers to know about my ongoing insurance issues as it's an issue addressed in your pages in the past.

Recently, we were dropped from Green Mountain Care with little notice or indication of why.

I called my state representative, Valerie Stuart.

I lived in New York City for much of my adult life and had no idea how quickly a small bureaucracy like Vermont might respond.

Within hours, she put me in personal contact with Lawrence Miller, chief of health care reform, in Montpelier. Within 48 hours, the mistake was corrected, and our coverage assured for another year.

Good job, Val!
