Vermont and single payer healthcare

[Bardo]

As the House votes to repeal President Obama’s healthcare reform bill, the state of Vermont is taking matters into its own hands. We speak with Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin, who is leading efforts to create a single-payer healthcare system in the state. He was voted into office after making single payer a cornerstone of his campaign. "If Vermont can get this right, the other states will follow," Shumlin says.

This is certainly a positive step, a success here could really help to bolster the argument for a single payer system by providing a solid example of its potential in the US.
