Summary

Vermont’s Governor Phil Scott just signed an executive order to slash health insurance costs by boosting competition and expanding access—targeting families, small businesses, and seniors struggling with skyrocketing premiums.

It’s a strategic pivot after vetoing a hospital pricing bill, setting the stage for deeper reforms when lawmakers return in January.
