Bill > H0276

Introduced Session

This bill proposes to implement Green Mountain Care, a publicly financed health care program for all Vermont residents, over time, starting with primary care in the first year, adding preventive dental and vision care in the second year, and incorporating additional health care services in later years. It would establish the Universal Health Care Advisory Group at the Green Mountain Care Board to provide recommendations to the General Assembly regarding the sequencing of and financing for the health care services to be added in the third through tenth years of Green Mountain Careâ??s implementation. The bill would also express legislative intent regarding funding sources for Green Mountain Careâ??s first and second years and would prohibit health insurance plans and rates from reflecting duplication of the coverage provided by Green Mountain Care.
