“It’s a mistake for our public policymakers to think we can nibble around the broken system,” he told POLITICO in an interview at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. He says he wants change and believes that it’s actually easier to bring big change to little states, which he sees as less beholden than larger states and national politics are to special interests.

The rest of the United States has no interest in single payer, of course, not now nor in the near future. Not only did the 2010 health law reject single payer or a public option, its rules and structures prevent a state like Vermont from going single payer, at least at the outset.

But Shumlin’s ready to go — and he doesn’t want the health care law to stand in his way.

“This Vermont boy wants to implement that single-payer health care system tomorrow, and I don’t know why you guys want to stop me from doing that,” Shumlin said at a recent POLITICO health policy panel. “It’s the right thing to do. The rest of the world has figured it out. Let’s grow up and join them.”
