Sanders Raises Alarm Over Potential Health Insurance Losses in Vermont
July 22, 2025 - 14:23
Senator Bernie Sanders has issued a stark warning regarding the potential impact of the proposed “Big Beautiful Bill” on health insurance coverage for Vermonters. He emphasized that approximately 45,000 residents could face the loss of their health insurance if the bill passes in its current form.
“The cost of health insurance for the average person is going to go up,” Sanders stated, highlighting the financial burden that could fall on families across the state. He expressed deep concern about the broader implications of such a change, noting that it would be “devastating for hospitals, for nursing homes, and for community health centers.”
Sanders' comments reflect a growing unease among healthcare advocates who fear that the proposed legislation could undermine access to essential health services. The senator's call to action aims to rally support for a more equitable approach to healthcare that safeguards coverage for all Vermonters, particularly the most vulnerable populations.
