Unfortunately Vermont is still dragging its feet on actually implementing single-payer; the law was signed four years ago and the state still has not produced a budget proposal for paying for it. I just hope they can get their act together soon enough, the single-payer movement in the US is probably going to depend a lot on Vermont's success.

We'll have much bigger problems if we get a President Cruz.

If this works out well in VT, I can see a few other deep-blue states taking a punt. Maybe MA. Or CA if we ever get this corruption under control.

California's legislature passed single-payer twice while Schwarzenegger was governor, only to have him veto it. So it's not out of the realm of possibility, although they haven't even tried since Brown took office so single-payer could very well just be red meat to throw to their base to drum up votes.
