The ACA was not an upending of the health care delivery funding system in one fell swoop, as M4A intends to do in FOUR YEARS. Even the ACA regulations that were rolled out over a few years, as were gradual expansions of Medicaid, and the funding mechanisms.
The financial analysis that Shumlin's office released is the source of all reliable information on why Green Mountain Care failed, so yes, the Globe was using direct sources.
Shumlin isn't a corporation. He was the one trying to implement single payer in the most homgenous, liberal state in the US. And they were not going to accept the costs involved.
