Vermont H0185 proposes a universal primary care program to improve access and reduce costs.

Vermont H0185 directs the Green Mountain Care Board to develop and implement a universal primary care program. The program aims to increase access to primary care, reduce administrative burdens on clinicians, and eliminate health insurance cost-sharing for primary care services. It will be funded by an allocation of premiums, premium equivalents, and public program funds. The program will also support an increase in medical school and residency slots for primary care practitioners at the University of Vermont College of Medicine. The program is set to begin operation by January 1, 2028.
