Miracle Worker?
By Peter Freyne | 7 Days - Vermont’s Independent Voice | Inside Track
Surprise, surprise! Rep. Topper McFaun’s health-care-reform bill — the one the powers-that-be said was absolutely, positively not coming off the committee-room wall — is going to get two days in the spotlight next week, after all! H.304, the Vermont Hospital Security Plan, would guarantee hospital coverage for all Vermonters while cutting $60 million in annual spending. Pretty radical stuff, eh?

150 rally for health care bill
By Daniel Barlow | The Barre Montpelier Times Argus
Doctors, nurses and other health professionals led a rally of more than 150 people at the Statehouse on Wednesday in support of a once under-the-radar bill that would create a “single-payer” system for covering hospital care in Vermont.

Looking for a Bright Side
By Peter Freyne | Seven Days: Vermont’s Independent Voice
Richter doesn’t mince words. And she’s part of a growing body of medical doctors across the country who also want America to join the rest of the civilized world with regard to health care. They have an increasingly active national organization called Physicians for a National Health Program (http://www.pnhp.org). These docs share the “radical” notion with docs in France, Britain, Spain and Canada that “health care is a human right.”
