How To Get Involved in Health Care Reform

You elect people to represent your interests in the Vermont legislature. These are your legislators. Every year, your legislators vote on state laws that can change how Vermont’s health care system works. If you have ideas, comments or concerns, you can reach out to them. Not sure who represents you? Follow this link to find your legislators.

Have you or someone in your family had a hard time getting or paying for medical care or health insurance? Sometimes we invite Vermonters to share their stories in front of the legislature. The experiences of Vermonters like you are much better than us just presenting a bunch of numbers. If you would be willing to share your story, let us know. Contact us by filling out this form or calling us at 800-917-7787.
