Reply to comment by Fun-Succotash6777 in What are some legislative and day-to-day differences between VT, and MA? by spitsparadise

This is very good advice thank you! I was actually planning on looking into switching health insurance soon. We both are on state health insurance (masshealth). I haven't heard much about state health insurance in VT but from what I have heard is it's better than some other state's options.

Can’t second this enough. Stuff isn’t available on call like it is in MA, and this only gets generally more applicable the more rural part of the state you’re in. Get your maintenance scheduled as far ahead as humanly possible and really try to develop as much handyman skills as you can - it’s really worth being able to fix that leak yourself and save a huge headache. Also, try making it a fun challenge, I try to make mine seem like a puzzle and then my engineering brain gets happy and takes off lol.

Insurance is better but medical services are very sparse/inadequate. It might be cheaper than other states but the wait time might be awhile/you might have trouble finding someone accepting new patients (especially for mental health providers)
