Vermont Health Insurance Exchange
The Vermont health insurance exchange is currently being implemented. Vermont, like many states, is in the process of developing plans to set up a health insurance exchange in order to comply with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act by the deadline of 2014.
Vermont is actually working towards an even more expansive role by offering a single payer option in 2013. The Vermont house recently passed a bill that works toward a single payer system:
"This bill takes our state one step closer to a system that ensures that all Vermonters have access to the care they deserve and contains costs," House Speaker Shap Smith said shortly after the House passed the bill 92-49.
The measure now goes to the Senate, where it is expected to pass, but with some possible changes.
Gov. Peter Shumlin, who made single-payer health care a centerpiece of his gubernatorial campaign last year, also praised the legislation. He said it would make Vermont "the first state in the country to make the first substantive step to deliver a health care system where health care will be a right and not a privilege, where health care will follow the individual, not be a requirement of the employer, and where we'll have an affordable system that contains costs."
Once the exchange is set up, we will provide a link to the specific webpage.
In addition to your state's health insurance exchange, we recommend that you also compare rates and plans offered from other health insurance quote comparison sites. We recommend InsureMe where you can compare rates from dozens of health insurers such as Aetna, Humana, BCBS, Anthem, United Health and many more.
Another great source for comparing health insurance plans is eHealthInsurance.com.
