Gov. Scott vetoed the Legislature’s latest attempt to lower health insurance costs. What’s next?

Gov. Phil Scott vetoed S.190, a bill to implement reference-based pricing for health insurance, arguing it unfairly prioritized certain groups. His alternative proposal, H.585, aimed to expand insurance options through association health plans and other reforms but failed to pass the Senate Finance Committee. The debate centers on balancing cost-saving measures with equitable access for small businesses and young people.
