    Because Vermont blows.

    Yeah, it has its co-op dairy farms and new england autumn and the lake, but really Vermont was among the more boring places I've ever been.

    Quebec have a Public funded healthcare system, and if it wasnt from the STUPID decision of our provincial governement, it would be in a good shape.

    In order to ''balence the budget'' one of those ''leftist nationalis seperatist'' guy decided it was the time to just force hundred of docs in retirement and force the rest to accept a paycut.

    Hell, Ontario, our Next door neigbor have a pretty decent healthcare system, beccause even tho they have suffered massive privatisation in the 90s, they didnt fired ton of doctors to ''balence the budget''.

    This is just fucking disgusting that something that used to work so well was ruined by some dumbfuck who wanted to balence the budget.

    the same dumbfucks released a manifesto a fews year ago asking Quebecker to work more and save money.

    yea, beccause we can see in the us how well it went.

    Single-payer health care means that the government buys health care - you don't.

    Vermont sounds better by the day. An openly Socialist senator and single-payer healthcare. My state sucks in comparison, though to be fair TN sucks period.

    Your talking about a Mandate, almost all socialists are against that sort of healthcare system, single payer gets rid of the insurance company.

    Vermont is a very nice place. Tough winters. But if I had an apartment (and didn't have to shovel a huge drive) I'd manage
    I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
    o the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
    And all around me a voice was sounding
    This land was made for you and me

    To be fair though there's lots of places I think are dull, total shitholes or unappealing but if given the choice between moving to, say, S****horpe or being denied access to medicine unless I paid through the fucking nose then I would be packing my bags with unseemly alacrity.

    There are lots of places without healthcare coverage, but much cheaper costs of living than Vermont.

    Point taken though, and I'm not trying to knock on vermont's (relatively) preogressive policies at all.
