VERMONT Abandons Single-Payer Health Care; Press Coverage Muted.

Based on the list of supporters identified at the beginning of this post, the AP’s reference to Vermont’s efforts being “rooted for by single-payer health care supporters around the country” is no exaggeration.

What is far less known is that a statewide single-payer success is considered critical to national implementation of single-payer by its advocates, including one of Obamacare’s key architects. A post later this morning demonstrates just how devastating — and of course, virtually unreported — Vermont’s failure is to their cause.
