Hi neighbors,

This week, we have a chance to speak directly to the people in charge of setting Vermont's health insurance prices. There's a public hearing on July 21 from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. This public hearing is a chance for us to speak directly to the Green Mountain Care Board, and tell them our opinions on the proposed increases.
