Devil's in the Details in Vt. Health Care Reform
Valley News Staff WriterManchester, Vt. — While the candidates for governor from Vermont's two major parties are campaigning as supporters of health care reform — broadly defined — they disagree on some of the devilish details on how to rein in costs, improve services and make residents healthier.At a Sept. 23 forum sponsored by the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems, Democrat Sue Minter, the former transportation secretary in Gov.Peter Shumlin's administration, promised to tamp down health care costs that "are bankrupting our family budgets, our school budgets and driving our property taxes as well as our state budget."She highlighted health care services where providers respond to "incentives for more visits, more pills and more procedures" and stressed the need to "reform our payment system."Four days later, at an employee event at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Phil Scott, the Republican lieutenant governor, presented himself as a pragmatist determined "to make health care accessible and affordable to every Vermonter."Vermont residents "are not ideological," he said at the hospital association forum.
