The state of Vermont
is telling a U.S. House panel it has every right to set up a state health
insurance exchange and require individuals and small businesses to purchase
their health coverage through it. State
officials wrote to the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
to rebut a charge from Republican members of that committee that a mandatory
exchange violates the Affordable Care Act.
The committee points to language in the health overhaul law saying it
won’t require people to get their health care through an exchange. Vermont
officials are arguing that states are still free to impose that requirement.

would be put back in prison if he made the threats. He said he didn't have the
control to be out in the community.
