In reply to the discussion: Vermont Approves Single-Payer Health Care: ‘Everybody in, nobody out’ [View all]Swede Atlanta
(3,596 posts)Despite the fact that Romneycare is generally recognized as having been highly successful in reigning in rising medical costs and insuring nearly all Massachusetts residents, the GOP won't give it credit.
Those that admit it has been fairly successful qualify by stating that that is only in one state and not a blueprint for the nation.
Then there are those that claim it has been a huge failure.
So even if single payer is hugely successful in Vermont I do not expect the right wing to acknowledge its success or even for those that do, they will claim that it works in that relatively sparsely populated state full of tree huggers and would never work in a "real" state like Texas.
These people don't accept facts for facts. They make up their own facts to support their ideology.
I cheer for the people of Vermont in this development. Good luck!!!
