Place your bets - who in Vermont will be exempt from this form of Commiecare™? My guess starts with RAT Shumlin and anyone he appoints.

What a commie freak. People get what they vote for. I’m staying away from Vermont for vacations. I don’t want to support such blatant idiocy.

Shumlin said his goal was to "provide (health care) access to all Vermonters, contain costs and hopefully design a system where health care follows the individual and is not an obligation of the employer, where health care is a right and not a privilege."

Seriously, this is VERY easy for him to do. Create an optional plan for ANYONE in the state to get any healthcare they want paid for by the state. Anyone who does not want the benefit does not have to use it. Raise taxes on EVERYONE to pay for it.

I'm not recommending it, but it would be easy for a Dim to implement. I don't see why any waivers would be needed. The state provides coverage for many people now (indigent, low income, etc.) Lower the restrictions on those programs to allow everyone to qualify.

I think I might open a little boarding house where people from other states can come, live and partake of VT health care.

So if I go to VT, wear a sombrero and say ‘si’ and ‘no’ a lot in order to get a VT driver’s license, can I then get VT healthcare?

This ought to be entertaining.
