Bill Summary
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 Care’s implementation. The bill would also express legislative intent regarding funding sources for Green Mountain Care and would prohibit health insurance plans and rates from reflecting duplication of the coverage provided by Green Mountain Care.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to incrementally implement Green Mountain Care, a publicly financed health care program for all Vermont residents, over a 10-year period.

From years 3-10, additional services would be added based on recommendations from the newly established Universal Health Care Advisory Group. The bill also expresses legislative intent regarding funding sources for Green Mountain Care and prohibits health insurance plans and rates from duplicating the coverage provided by the program.
