Dean on health care

Former Gov. Howard Dean takes to HuffPo to defend the national health care law, saying even if Republicans suceed in shooting down the insurance mandate - Vermont can show the law to reform.

Dean wrote:

In 1992, Vermont embarked on fundamental health care reform. With help in part from a Medicaid waiver from the Clinton Administration, we have had universal coverage for Vermonters under the age of eighteen for nearly twenty years. Over that time, Vermont has had a generation of experience allowing families who make less than $65,000 buy into Medicaid, and 96% of all young people in Vermont have grown up with health coverage.
