Megan McArdle ponders the problems Vermont's proposed single payer system will find.
Vermont is a middling-tax state, as states go. And that’s not an accident; its population consists of longtime Vermonters, some of whom vote Republican (at least for governor) and are not super-tax-friendly, and transplants from Massachusetts and New York state, who, last time I looked, had moved to Vermont partly because the taxes were lower. Paying for this program would likely make Vermont the highest-taxed state in the nation, by quite a lot.

See Moe Lane's piece for concurrence.
I've never bought the "It's the plan" bit and it's nice to be vindicated.
