Today's interviewee is Christopher Pearson, state legislator from Vermont and member of that state's Progressive Party — yes, Virginia, some states have a Progressive Party.
Chris's fifth question has to do with the future of Vermont's state-specific health care law, a version of single-payer. Interesting answer.
Note that Pearson is concerned, as I am, about global warming (climate catastrophe). Very thoughtful responses.
