Disclaimer: I am in favor of health care for all Americans, so please do not trash me! This article is about Vermont, where the governor ran on a platform of state run single payor health care. Someone always has to pay and the price will be very steep. Food for thought: Politico (12/18) reports that the single-payer proposal “called for businesses to take on a double-digit payroll tax, while individuals would face up to a 9.5 percent premium assessment.” Shumlin stated, “These are simply not tax rates that I can responsibly support or urge the Legislature to pass,” adding, “In my judgment, the potential economic disruption and risks would be too great to small businesses, working families and the state’s economy.”
