Due to the recession, Vermont is facing $150 million budget shortfall. Once again, Governor Douglas is looking to balance the state budget on the backs of low- and middle- income Vermonters by raising out of pocket expenses for Dr. Dynasaur, VHAP and Catamount Health.

Cost is the main reason people stay uninsured or drop coverage, yet Governor Douglas wants to:

• Raise Dr. Dynasaur premiums between 33% and 100%
  
• Raise VHAP premiums between 67% and 71%
  
• Increase the Catamount annual deductible by 380%
  
• Increase the Catamount office visit co-pay by 150%
  
• Raise Catamount premiums between 10 and 22% - on top of previous increases averaging over 33%

At the same time, Governor Douglas proposes rolling back Vermont’s capital gains tax exemption, essentially a tax rebate for Vermont’s wealthiest citizens, and is refusing to tap into other revenue sources, such as the state’s $60 million rainy day fund.

Demand that Governor Douglas and legislators consider other ways of raising revenue, including taxing those who can most afford it, instead of those who cannot.
