Today's Vital Signs Vermont Edition takes stock of what we've learned in the past week.
We've heard how the new health care exchange would work, listened to ideas about controlling costs, and weighed the pros and cons of the proposed single payer system.
We've heard from doctors, policy experts and lawmakers.
Now we'd like to hear from patients: You.
Jane and Bob will field your comments with the help of Steve Kappel who teaches health policy at UVM (Kappel also served as a legislative consultant on health care) and Paul Harrington of the Vermont Medical Society. Call in during the program at noon (the rebroadcast is at 7pm) or send us an email at
vermontedition@vpr.net This week we've also heard a variety of interesting perspectives on the health care debate from a group of VPR commentators. If you've missed the any of them, check them out here:
