Healthcare & Benefits Laws in Vermont.
Vermont healthcare law reflects the state's distinctive position as the only state to attempt and nearly enact a single-payer system (Green Mountain Care, authorized by 2011 Act 48, not ultimately implemented). Vermont regulates hospitals and insurance through the Green Mountain Care Board (18 V.S.A. ch. 220) and the Department of Financial Regulation. Vermont licenses physicians and allied health professionals through the Vermont Secretary of State's Office of Professional Regulation and the Board of Medical Practice under 26 V.S.A. ch. 23.
