Peter Shumlin emerged as a governor candidate on the issue and later signed a 2011 law creating Green Mountain Care to cover all residents. The plan envisions a single payer with rates set by a state board, starting in 2017 and projected to save about 500 million annually. Financing and included benefits remain under discussion, with broad support across the state.
