But I support states' rights, and I don't live in Vermont, so I don't have anything against Vermont doing this. I view this the way a scientist views an experiment. I'm curious to see how it turns out.

Well, to start with, another $1.6 billion in taxes distributed across a population of 620,000 translates to $2581 per capita -- or about $9000 per household.

In other words, having "free" health insurance will cost Vermonters something over $200 per capita per month (or about $750/month per family).

And, as we all recognize, that's almost certainly an optimistic estimate.

No, no, they're thinking about making it a tax on employers. It won't cost the average Vermonters anything.

Do I need the sarcasm tag?
