I really like that state.

He was accepted at New England Culinary Institute. He starts in late June 2014.

I am sooooooooooo glad he is going to an Earthbound, liberal state! In Ohio...you have to find the liberal click amongst the teabagger, christian fundies.

I bet he is going to love VT once he gets settled in and has a chance to explore.

Plus, we get to visit....He is brushing up on politics there....when he was 6, he helped support Howard Dean!

yum. great bakery too.

Obamacare really is a stepping stone to universal health care, and many blue states are on the right path to get us to that point.

I live in Washington state, just finished my enrollment Friday at the state website. While I had a few problems early on with the site, one was my own fault and when I finally got in contact with someone, took all day on their support line, the had it fixed for me in 3 days. The other problem was simply needing some questions asked and after calling two different clinics that had people trained to help get people enrolled, I finally got the information I needed to finish the enrollment, pay for the plan, and was accepted!

I know that the government site has a lot of problems, but as the president said, there are other ways to get enrolled. People need to make some calls, find out where to get help at local clinics, or other places that will help them get enrolled, just don't give up! This is going to work and it will only get better.

your going to show these Republicans up!

I want to move from my bagger-run state to a real state like VT that cares for everyone, not just the rich.

Rich or poor you can still have a beautiful view.

at least those of us from Ontario and the other eastern provinces.

Beautiful state, just like our north - scenery galore.

And polite people too.

Maybe living so close to us Canucks they pay attention to our lifestyle, and know more about our single-payer plan than the more populous states.

ACA is only a bandaid on a broken system. As long as the insurance companies are involved, expect all sorts of glitches, and just plain dirty tricks.

Single payer (that's government funded and controlled healthcare) comes from taxes, and benefits are not related to a person's income, or lack of it.

The paperwork involved in ACA is going to bog it down, trying to decide who gets what benefits, and which insurance comanies are to be involved - it will never provide universal health care in the real(single-payer) sense.

In Canada, be it a millionaire or a homeless person with no income, the benefits are the same.

Yes, the rich can buy supplemental insurance for private rooms, expensive specialists of their choice from far away, - but even a low wage-earner can have a heart bypass, transplant, whatever and it has no effect on their finances other than lost income from absence at work.

Even then, from Welfare to Disability benefits, even the homeless are guaranteed an income of some sort, as well as the cost of their treatment(s) absorbed by our government (tax) funded healthcare.

GO VERMONT!

luv ya
