Vermont Has Bailed on Single-Payer Health Care

Good. The closer than expected Vermont race for Governor did it's work. Too bad Milne didn't win. Shumlin is now running scared.

Amusingly enough, they did it because of taxes. They discovered they would have to raise taxes on every Vermonter by 11.5% (according to that noted right wing rag, Daily Kos) to make this work. As noted on that notable right wing rag, a lot of Vermonters also have health care from Massachusetts, and other states rather than being in Vermont itself.

There wasn't probably enough political muscle, not after the close 2014 Governor race, to push this through. Hence why it was shelved.

The people of Vermont, apparently, disagree with you.

WTF is that supposed to mean? This isn't a matter of opinion, this is a matter of facts. 

It means - see Krazen's answer. Through their elected representatives, the people of Vermont don't agree that it will be cheaper for them.
