Reply to comment by HappilyhiketheHump in Ethan Parke: Senate bill offers health insurance to legislators, but not to other Vermonters by futurerecordholder
Perhaps people don’t remember when Schumlin tried and after a couple years finally had to admit universal healthcare was too expensive for a state with VT ‘s revenue to afford.
It’s a good goal and I am sure it will be relitigated ever 10 years or so. Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it and until there is a significant change on cost or state revenue, it will still end with it being too expensive.

Anyway, his claim is false which is why he has not produced a report.

The report Shumlin waved around at the press conference showed that for the overwhelming majority of Vermonters, they would have come out ahead with single-payer, even in the worst-case projections. He lied about that, and compliant media just transcribed and repeated his quotes, instead of writing from the document he held in his hand.
