The Green Mountain Care Board will meet for the first time Oct. 4, but the panel isn't planning to solve the large health care riddles on its first day.
"The meeting will be largely devoted to organizational and personnel matters and questions related to the responsibilities of the Board under Vermont Act 48 of 2011," according to a news release announcing the meeting.
You've got to start somewhere.
The board is an outgrowth of Act 48, the landmark health care law that is a first step on what Gov. Peter Shumlin and many lawmakers hope will be a single-payer health care system.
The board will play the lead role in designing the benefits package and the method for paying for it.
The first meeting is at 1 p.m. at the BISCHA offices in Montpelier.
