May 10, 2024 Rob Roper

Ask people why Vermont is unaffordable, and health insurance is one of the main pillars of our unaffordability crisis, along with education property taxes, the cost of housing, and energy prices.

After Years of Making Medical Care Cost More VT Legislators Pretend More Meddling Will Lower Costs

February 22, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The government injecting itself into the health care system or getting between doctors, insurers, and patients has been driving up the cost of care for decades. The knee-jerk response to complaints about the cost of health care is to meddle some more, resulting in more expensive health care.
