For the first time, health care in Vermont will be considered a public good rather than a commodity to be sold.

“We’re going to hear all kinds of scare stories – that this is a thoughtless experiment or that this is too bold. I want to remind you that every other industrialized country does what we are trying to do. They do it for far less money, they live longer and they do it for far better care. So it’s time for Vermont to join the rest of the industrialized world.”

Richter thanked Shumlin who made a pledge “if he were elected governor he would make Vermont the first state in the nation to enact a publicly financed system that pays for health care for all Vermonters. How many politicians do you know who really do what they say they’re going to do?”


Answer: that guy, right there.

The intermediary in healthcare should clearly profit off of human suffering. To more effectively connect the people to the providers will benefit both ends - guaranteeing healthcare for all consumers, and ensuring more (and better) business for doctors, who will have more people to provide for, and more efficient payment management. Cut out the 15-40% overheard/profit and replace it with less, both sides in each transaction will benefit. Money can be exchanged for goods and services, why did we need to make it more complex than that?

Spencer: How do you see this impacting development and production of pharmaceuticals? I think the overhead cost reduction will benefit the consumer, but the increased number of consumers will be able to drive business in production, and extra money going largely to research (and profit). Will this provide a boost for the industry in increased efficiency, more customers, more money all around?
