As states continue to grapple with rising healthcare costs and budget constraints, two have set themselves on divergent paths. In Vermont, Gov. Peter Shumlin, left, is set to sign a bill that would steer the state toward a single-payer system in which residents will have their care paid for out of a single fund. Meanwhile, Florida is on the verge of turning its Medicaid program into a managed-care system to be overseen by private insurers.
随着各州继续应对不断上涨的医疗成本和预算限制，有两个州走上了不同的道路。在佛蒙特州，州长彼得·舒姆林（左）准备签署一项法案，该法案将引导该州走向单一支付者体系，即居民的医疗费用将从单一基金中支出。与此同时，佛罗里达州即将将其医疗补助计划转变为由私人保险公司监管的管理式医疗体系。
