Episode Details

Governor Phil Scott just vetoed S.190, a healthcare reform bill aimed at capping hospital charges for certain procedures via reference-based pricing — a move lawmakers hoped would ease costs for school employees and state exchange plans. While supporters argued it would target the most vulnerable, Scott countered it only benefits a few, insisting true affordability requires savings for everyone. Though the veto stalls this phase, the broader mandate for reference-based pricing remains, and the governor plans to pursue his own reforms through executive action — keeping the debate alive over how Vermont tackles rising healthcare costs.
