>Vermont has moved a step closer to becoming the first state in the nation to adopt a government-run, universal health care system, following the passage, by a 92-49 vote, of legislation in the state House of Representatives.
>Under the proposed single-payer system, all Vermonters would be eligible for health coverage under a universal coverage program. Democrats insist the plan will ensure all residents have access to medical care and will reign in skyrocketing costs.
