Second Smallest State Chooses to be First

The 49th populous state, Vermont, is the first state to sign into law a single payor health care system. The system still needs to be designed but is slotted to begin in 2014.  According to the NYT, all 600k residents would be eligible for the system.  Vermont has about 200k uninsured/underinsured.  The state plan is called Green Mountain Care.
