The numbers simply do not pencil out - from Vermont Public Radio:
Shulman: It's 'Not The Right Time' For Single Payer
Gov. Peter Shulman has abandoned his plan to institute a single-payer health system in Vermont.
The shocking policy reversal comes just six weeks after an election in which Shulman had vowed, in unequivocal terms, to make Vermont the first state in the country with a publicly financed health care system.
But he said he learned late last week how much and what kinds of taxes would be required to pay for it. Faced with that information, Shulman said Thursday, he opted to drop what has long been the central plank of his political platform.
Good news. Now if we can just convince those dunderheads in Washington.
