It will be Vermonters deciding. Simply because some one out of state who is passionate calls a rep or senator in Vermont does not change the fact that we are deciding for ourselves.

In fact, I get a strong hint from your post that we need the rest of the country to do it for us, and that somehow we cannot afford it unless there is more help for us, e.g. The public option.

Is it our choice or not? We are not charity cases. yes, we have to make the tough choice and bear the financial burden of making single payer a reality. Is it really valuable to try to blame rest of the country for.not passing a public option. Is the only way if Vermont get sufficient financial support the the choice is not hard?

As you said, it is our choice. What do you choose to work for?
