Lewin contact: John Sheils

For the state of Vermont, The Lewin Group explored the expected costs and impacts of a single-payer program in which all state residents are covered under a single public program funded primarily with an employer payroll tax. This report presents The Lewin Group's analysis of the financial impact of a single-payer program on various payers for health care including state, local, and federal governments. It includes estimates of the financial impact of the proposal on employers by industry and firm size, and of the impact of the plan on household health spending by age, income level, and other characteristics.

"Throughout the engagement, Lewin consultants listened to us and delivered superb analyses and thoughtful guidance–not canned solutions."  NONPROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM
