The State of Vermont is moving ahead with health care legislation which could set a trend for the rest of the country.
Recently, the Vermont state legislature passed a Medicare for all, single-payer health care bill which is soon to be considered by the state Senate and also has strong backing of the governor.
According to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), Vermont is likely to be the first state in the country to pass a cost-effective health care single-payer system, that will provide health care for all. And Sen. Sanders believes that, if it works well–and he believes it will–other states will follow suit and there could be a national Medicare for all, single payer program.
The Vermont bill is expected to makes its way to the governor’s desk sometime in May.
About 50 million middle class and working Americans are without health care insurance and about 45,000 Americans die every year, because of lack of access to health care services.
