Will health care reform deliver true savings?

Republican legislators have taken the Shumlin administration to task for failing to articulate how the state’s health care reform 54<$</+5=$7#$2)4)(#=,$4*$0#>+30#=$79$54<A$!"#$4=.3)3*-04-3/)$ contends it has “substantially” complied, and labels the partisan display a “stunt.”

There is a defensible argument to be had on both sides. Repub­ licans are correct that the law addressed the need to identify and -/$#K8543)$-"#$.#4)*$46435475#$-/$2)4)(#$-"#$"#45-"$(40#$0#1/0.$ law. The Democrats — and the Shumlin administration — are correct that the rules of the game changed after the law was passed. It was thought that Vermont would be able to get federal waivers to allow it to skip the need for a health care exchange and go directly to a universal payer system. That didn’t happen, which means the deadline for full implementation slides to 2017.

By any reasonable standard, that should also mean more time -/$8+-$-"#$2)4)(3):$854)$3)$854(#A And, from a purely political point of view, the Republicans in the Legislature have so little power that their complaints are not 53@#59$-/$:#)#04-#$4$*3:)32(4)-$1/55/<3):A But the administration — and the Legislature’s Democrats — have a bigger problem: What’s beginning to become evident is that reforming the system is a gargantuan task and one that may not yield any real savings. Selling this to the public may be a challenge they had not contemplated.

When the University of Massachusetts delivered its study of the proposed single­payer system — which included, at a vague 5#6#5,$4$=3*(+**3/)$/1$8/-#)-345$2)4)(3):$L$3-$(/)(5+=#=$-"4-$-"#$ 854)$</+5=$*46#$MNO$.3553/)$-"#$20*-$9#40$4)=$47/+-$'AO$8#0(#)-$ over the 2017­2019 cycle.

That is nowhere near the amount Vermonters were told when the law was being debated in the Legislature.

It’s true the plan would include the uninsured, and it’s true the 854)$</+5=$3)(5+=#$7#--#0$7#)#2-*A$!"#$854)$0#63#<#=$79$PC4**$ is not the same plan proposed by the Legislature. It’s not an apple­to­apples comparison.

But telling the vast majority of Vermonters that they will pay the same, or more, for essentially the same service doesn’t match the promise they heard during the health care reform debate.

From that perspective, the Republicans are right; the landscape is unsettled, there is no certainty as to where this leads, which causes unease within the business community. Health care costs are a major factor in any business, which means they will delay -"#30$854)*$+)-35$-"#9$"46#$4$20.#0$:04*8$/)$<"4-$53#*$4"#4=A That’s a problem.

The UMass report didn’t help. When talk of payroll taxes, etc., is mixed with a projection of little to no savings, then businesses have every reason to become nervous.

I-$<355$7#(/.#$=312(+5-$-/$3.8/**375#$1/0$-"#$:/6#0)/0$-/$<45@$ into a business, explain that health care costs will run roughly the same, or more, but that they should feel better because more people are being covered. That doesn’t square with the promise of getting health care costs off the backs of employers, or the promise that the system, once freed of burdensome administra­ tive costs would be far less and the quality would improve.

(As a nation, we heard the same promise about the medical savings that would come through improved IT systems. It didn’t happen.)

What the report from UMass hints is that the savings in Ver­ mont just aren’t there. Or are at least not there to the degree once thought.

Q"/+5=$<#$7#$*+0803*#=J No. How is it that we can add thousands of people to the system, improve the level of services provided, insist on better >+453-9$(40#,$?RS$*46#$./)#9J If the conclusions are to be any different than what the study suggests, it would be advisable for the advocates to begin the explanations. Otherwise, this is an issue that will begin to fall in the skeptics’ favor.

It’s a massive task. And, to the administration’s credit, the process has been invaluable in terms of bringing a new level of coordination and cooperation to the Vermont health care system.

We’ve also learned more about the system and its strengths and weaknesses, which is central to any path we choose.

But the process is at a sensitive position. There is no clear un­ derstanding as to what lies ahead, who will be affected, and how.

The doubt is beginning to gallop forth.

That needs to change.

All the nitty gritty details that make up the grubby lives we human beings endure on this patch of rock hurtling through space. Good grief! Occasionally a guy just wants get away from it all.

Now, thanks to the Dutch, I may just get to do that.

Recently I heard about Mars One, an international project (based out of Amersfoort, The Netherlands) to put a human colony on the Red Planet in 2023. It was ex­ hilarating to read about such a grand and uplifting project — an imagina­ tive leap into the future that recharges all the youthful enthusiasm I felt for space exploration as a boy during NASA’s manned missions in the ’60s

By John and ’70s.

McCright In their mission statement, the or­ ganizers of Mars One state that “Mars exploration offers opportunity to cel­ ebrate the power of a united humanity. As with the Apol­ lo Moon landings, a human mission to Mars will inspire generations to believe that all things are possible, that anything can be achieved.” Heady stuff.

Their language at times is moving: “Mars One believes it is not only possible, but imperative that we establish a permanent settlement on Mars in order to accelerate our understanding of the formation of the solar system, the origins of life, and of equal importance, our place in the universe.” Boy, talk about losing yourself in a monumen­ tal project that could change all of humanity. Sign me up.

It could be a little rough, as with any pioneering ex­ perience, but I don’t think it will be that bad. Space cadets on Mars will get 50 square meters of living space, and, according to the website, get to “prepare fresh food that they themselves grew and harvested.”

The gig comes with rovers that are able to race around the surface of the planet; since it is not yet populated,

there are no speed limits.

Showering with water will not be an option, and cadets will instead wipe themselves with “wet towelettes.” They pointedly say the trip will push cadets “to the very limits of their training and personal capacity.”

Hmmm.

Looking for some reassurance elsewhere on the Inter­ net, I stumbled across a recent report on a simulated mis­ sion to Mars carried out by the European Space Agency.

They put six men through intensive training, then locked them in a windowless “spaceship” in Moscow for 17 months. Their only contact with the outside world was through the Internet and phone lines with a 20­minute delay to mimic how it would be to phone home from Mars. Turns out the men were incredibly bored and spent up to 20 hours a day sleeping. When awake they hung out playing the “Guitar Hero” video game. The study in the “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” said two of the six “astronauts” were OK at the end of the simulation, but four of them had problems, includ­ (See Clippings, Page 5A)

Consolidating school districts can be tricky A committee in the seven­town, nine­school Addison Central Supervisory Union is considering whether to pro­ pose to the voters that some or all of the ACSU schools be combined into a Regional Education District or RED. The Jeffords Center, a research institute at the University of Vermont, recently completed a report for the Legislature on voluntary school district merger activity, which provides useful information on the experiences of other districts in Vermont.

In 2010, the Legislature passed Act 153, providing incentives to school districts to merge voluntarily. Since that time, only one Regional Education District has been approved by the vot­ ers. This is the Mountain Towns RED, which combined the formerly separate districts of Landgrove, Londonderry, By Eric L. Davis Peru and Weston in south­central Ver­ mont into a single RED. Even before the RED was approved, K­8 students from all four of these towns attended the same school, Flood Brook Union School in Londonderry. All four towns offer high school choice, with students attending high schools such as Burr & Burton in Manchester or Black River in Ludlow. Thus, creation of the Mountain Towns RED did not change the number of school buildings in the district.

Act 153 requires that an RED be approved by the vot­ ers in every one of the districts involved, so a defeat in one town can reject the proposal for the entire region. In the past two years, voters in four different areas of the state have rejected proposals to combine separate school districts into REDs. Proposals failed in Addison Northwest, Chittenden

Politically Thinking

East, Franklin West and Orange Southwest. Additionally, study committees in Chittenden South and Southwestern Vermont decided not to proceed with RED votes in their districts.

Thus, since Act 153 was passed, only the Mountain Towns RED, involving four towns that already shared a K­8 school building, has been approved by the voters. The researchers from the Jeffords Center noted that the two principal ob­ stacles to REDs in those instances in which they have been rejected by the voters were concerns about loss of lo­ cal control and closure of school build­ ings. These two concerns are likely to be major challenges to the creation of an RED in Addison Central, especial­ ly considering a unique aspect of the ACSU, the large share of the district’s population residing in just one town, Middlebury.

State statutes governing REDs re­ quire that their boards represent voters in the towns making up the district in proportion to the population of those towns. !"#$%&'&$(#)*+*,$-"#$./*-$0#(#)-$/12(345$(/+)-$46435475#,$ shows that the total population of the seven towns in the ACSU is 14,721. Middlebury, with a population of 8,496, makes up 58 percent of the district’s population.

Thus, if an RED were established in the ACSU towns, its board representation would likely be very similar to that on the current UD­3 board governing MUHS and MUMS. The UD­3 board has 13 members, seven from Middlebury and one each from Bridport, Cornwall, Ripton, Salisbury, (See Davis, Page 5A)

Our house in Weybridge was robbed last fall. We had never locked our doors because our house is small and modest and very close to Horse Farm Road. We thought anyone looking at our house or even in through the windows would see that there was nothing here worth stealing.

As it happened, we were a little bit right about that and too much wrong.

The people who robbed us took six small pieces of gold and silver jewelry. Each one was a gift to me from my mother or my husband. A small handful of rhinestone jew­ elry was also taken, along with the heart box my niece made me when she was small. There were old rhinestone necklaces and earrings I remember my mother wearing when she dressed up, and a pretty necklace and bracelet from my husband, and some brooches and bracelets from my kids who knew I liked sparkles.

Altogether, my jewelry was prob­ ably worth almost nothing to the people who took it.

To me, they were precious and I’m sad they are gone. I still am surprised that people came into my house and stole things, so I’m writing to those of you who think, like I used to, that they have nothing worth stealing. We just don’t know.

Keep yourself safe.

“One of the sixth­graders,” the re­ port noted, “has named the duck Ed­ ward.”

As much as we might smile at some of these incidents, there are oth­ ers that hint at heartbreak. The theft from a Monkton home, for example, of an urn containing a deceased in­ fant’s ashes. Another incident where a mother was allegedly driving along a Middlebury street “for around 200 feet while her 8­year­old daughter was holding onto and running along­ side the vehicle.”

The mother later told police she was “not having a good parenting day” but added that she was driving slowly and was “stunned” when she realized her daughter was holding on to the vehicle.

Whatever we think of these cases, there’s inevitably one that strikes our fancy. My favorite was a court report about a man captured last year in Starksboro — after being on the lam since 2003.

Though he had been convicted of stealing a Bristol police cruiser in 2002 and crashing it in Lincoln, the man claimed to have no memory of the incident.

“I’m guessing you probably don’t remember because you were very drunk, based on what I see here,” the judge told him.

Where had the man been for the past nine years?

“I stayed out of trouble and lived in the woods,” he told the judge. “Most of the time I stayed up on the moun­ tain.”

Well, the judge replied, “At least we didn’t have you in another DUI, so I guess there’s something to be said for that.”

climate change resolve. Dissent on this issue does not mean the prob­ lem of climate change isn’t real; it means the proposed solution needs more study before we do things that can not be corrected. Vermont has actually sited some large scale wind projects along with a number of large solar arrays. We have biomass electric generating facilities, and we have seen expansion of methane­ to­electricity projects on our dairy farms. I believe a well managed program — especially large­scale ones — should have a data collec­ tion, evaluation, and feedback loop.

It’s just smart.

Vermont is also providing a ma­ jor carbon sink in our forests. We are growing more than twice the amount of woody biomass than we harvest each year. This seques­ tration service is made possible in large part by our forward­looking state land use policies, our commit­ ment to land conservation funding through Vermont Housing and Con­ servation Board, and our tax poli­ cies that recognize the use­value of forest and farm land.

The bonds would ideally have a revenue stream attached; this would be a good rationale for an all­fuels tax. But, that would run afoul of the governor’s “No increase in ‘broad­ based’ taxes” position.

Barbara Wheelock, 88, Middlebury MIDDLEBURY — Barbara Wheelock of Middlebury died peacefully on Jan. 28, 2013. Her last month was spent at home as she wished, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born at home in South Lincoln on May 20, 1924, she was the daughter of Earl H. and Lucy Belle Lathrop Kelton.

Raised along with her sister, Earlene, early recollections were of a simple home and farm life before electricity. Washing the lamp chim­ neys and going after the cows at milking time were daily chores.

Leading the horse on the hayfork and earning a penny for each window cleaned on “whitewash” day were part of childhood, as were trips to the !"#$%&'(#) *+,) -(%!+.) !+) /%#) 01&&23) Her best catch was eight trout one morning before school.

Farm life, neighboring families, her Kelton and Lathrop grandpar­ ents, aunts, uncles and cousins were all fond memories. She attended the South Lincoln District No. 8 Schoolhouse and after graduation went on to the Montpelier Seminary.

Living away from home as a fresh­ man and sophomore, she made new friends and recalled this as a wonder­ ful time in her life. Approaching her junior year and missing home, she joined her friends at Bristol High School. She and her best friend, Alice Newton Bouvier, boarded on Mountain Street at the home of Arlie and Ruth Smith. This became, in her words, “The best year of my life.”

In 1940, she met Edward Wheelock of Bristol. They were married in 1941, celebrating 50 years of marriage with friends and family in 1991. While raising their family over the next 25 years, she never lost sight of her dream to become a nurse.

In 1966, she enrolled in the Fanny Allen School of Nursing. Upon

(Continued from Page 1A) “We would not have been able to do this without (Keeler’s) active support,” said Fred Saar, executive director of ACUSI. “We feel very fortunate to have this space and to be housed here.”

The Addison County jail closed last year after the expiration of a 15­year contract with the U.S. Marshals Ser­ vice, which meant the facility no lon­ ger housed federal detainees awaiting trial for various offenses, ranging from !"#$%&'())*+&'+#,%-&$(&.+/0&$+*12'3#405 6(& $"%&7896:& -%%,%.& )#3%& *& 0((.& way to repurpose some of the space, Keeler noted.

Keeler and Saar also feel fortunate to have landed an experienced profes­ sional to serve as ACUSI’s lead inves­ tigator. Retired Vermont State Police Det. Sgt. Ruth Whitney routinely con­ ducted such investigations for 10 years with the VSP.

(Continued from Page 1A) law of 2004 allows for up to four dis­ pensaries statewide to serve almost 500 patients on the state registry. There are currently two dispensaries up and running, one in Burlington and one in Waterbury. Ford said there are almost 200 patients on the state registry living in four southern counties of Vermont who are unable to access the more northern dispensaries.

As of Feb. 1, there were 39 patients on the registry living in Rutland Coun­ ty and 36 patients in Addison County, according to Lindsey Wells, the Medi­ cal Marijuana Program Administrator with the Vermont Criminal Informa­ $#(4& 8%4$%+5& 6"%& -*#.& "%+& (12'%& "*-& no applications for medical marijuana dispensaries in Addison County.

By law, a patient must suffer from a “debilitating medical condition” in or­ der to qualify for the medical marijua­ na registry. State law allows patients suffering from illnesses such as cancer, AIDS, HIV, glaucoma, multiple scle­ +(-#-A& !*-$#40& .#-%*-%A& (+& ?*+3#4-(4Q-& disease to access medical marijuana in order to alleviate their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Patients must have the approval of a physician they have been seeing for at least six months, who authorizes the use of medical marijuana for the patient once all other avenues have been exhausted.

Patients must be screened by the De­ partment of Public Safety, submit to *&=*'30+(/4.&'"%'3&*4.&*0+%%&$(&4(L 34('3& -%*+'"%-& =<& )*!& %41(+'%,%4$& before being accepted onto the state registry.

The dispensaries operate under the authority of the state Department of Public Safety. They must operate by appointment­only, and only one pa­ tient at a time can be seen. The facility must be equipped with surveillance and alarm equipment, including video surveillance cameras and motion de­ tecting lights. Ford said she would re­ quire at least 3,000 square feet of self­ contained space where the marijuana would be both grown and distributed.

She also needs at least a 400­amp power supply to run the grow lights.

The rub is that while the medical marijuana dispensaries and the use of medical marijuana by those on the reg­

We were right in the middle of some other stuff and it made a huge difference for us. Right on the heels of that, she got another case at Vergennes Union Elementary School and helped us out with that. She did a really good job for us and was really helpful.”

Bristol Police Chief Kevin Gibbs has, by necessity, been the lead inves­ tigator in all of the major assault/sex crime cases in Bristol for the past 25 years. He credited Whitney with help­ #40&"#,&')%*+&/;&*&$"+%%L<%*+&=*'3)(0& of major cases that he had been unable to complete due to his other responsi­ bilities on the small force.

“She has been a really handy re­

source for me, and probably will be in the future,” Gibbs said.

Lisa Lax, director of the local Fam­ ily Services Division of the Depart­ ment of Children and Families (DCF), said recent crime trends bear out the need for ACUSI. She said that in Ad­ .#-(4&8(/4$<&./+#40&NKONA&"%+&(12'%& received 607 reports of child abuse and neglect. Of those, 191 resulted in the DCF intervening for child safety reasons. Forty­two of the reports in­ volved allegations of sexual abuse of a child and 32 related to physical abuse reports.

“Most of the accepted reports in­ volving child sexual abuse necessitate law enforcement involvement and could thus potentially be supported by an SIU,” Lax said. “Fortunately only a few of the reports involving physical abuse necessitate law enforcement in­ volvement, since most are not serious injuries. By serious injuries we mean "%*.& $+*/,*A& =+(3%4& =(4%-A& -%G%+%& bruising, etc.”

Indeed, ACUSI is dealing with some of the more disturbing crimes in soci­ ety, being committed in the shadows.

“It’s a topic nobody really wants to $*)3& *=(/$AI& 6**+& -*#.5& MP"%& 1('/-& (1& the SIU really is to minimize the im­ ;*'$&(1&$"%-%&%G%4$-&(4&$"%&3#.-5I

That means interviewing the young victims gently and in an environment that is not intimidating. Organizers of the ACUSI believe they have found that setting at the sheriff’s depart­ ment. A space that was once very in­ stitutional and surrounded by metal bars and heavy doors is now open, brightly painted, non­threatening, and equipped with toys and other props to put victims at ease.

“The idea is not to re­traumatize the children and adult victims with the in­ vestigation,” Lax said.
