Health Freedom Minute June 7, 2013

Vermont Mandates Mussolini Medicine Vermont passed single-payer health care in 2011. It created a five member Green Mountain Care Board to implement the law and impose price controls. The law allows the board to set fees for all doctors and all hospitals in the state – even those who refuse to join the system. Thus the law eliminates the independent practice of medicine, and prohibits private contracts between a patient and a doctor. This year, Rep. Cynthia Browning, a Democrat, tried to repeal the boardʼs authority to control prices outside the system. It didnʼt work. As AAPS News reports, this mimics Benito Mussoliniʼs motto “everything for the state, nothing against the state, nothing outside the state.” “Independence Rejected in Vermont,” AAPS News, May 2013.
