The Republican State Committee has approved resolutions formally opposing Gov. Peter Shumlin's single-payer health care plan, and putting more pressure on Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, the party's only statewide candidate, to declare his own position.
One resolution approved Saturday at the Montpelier Elks Club urges "legislative and statewide candidates to publicly oppose single-payer/government run health care due to the negative impacts on the state's economy and the lives of Vermonters."
