I would suggest calling and discussing your issue if it’s truly urgent. I had a six month wait for an annual skin check, but when I saw something that looked suspiciously pre-cancerous, I got an early appointment just to address that. This probably doesn’t cover you if it’s something more aesthetic or non-fatal, but worth mentioning

Call the green mountain care board and your legislators. They took a stressed system, turned it into a state sanctioned monopoly, and then really fucked us all over with their grand financial experiment.
Now the insurers are bailing on the legislatures little monopoly and the the workers are fed up with forced overtime and shit pay. Prices are skyrocketing as inflation bites and our leaders have their thumbs up their asses.
So…FUCK YOU LEGISLATURE AND UVMMC ADMINISTERS!!!

Vermont historically was the reddest state in the union up until 1970-ish, if you look at the voting record.

If you can swing it, DMHC has a program with the local hotels that allow you to get discount hotel rooms in the area. Made the early morning appointments there way more manageable.

And if the government invested more into social programs so that results-based reimbursement was more effective in places like VT.

You said every Republican you knew worked a manual labor job. Don’t tell me to stop being stupid when you make idiotic comments like that….

First and foremost, they’d want the current use tax break on their vacation home.

Yea you can see from other years this is not normal. The amount reported delinquent this year was really high. They collected it eventually, as shown in this chart.

Currently pregnant and see a different OB every appointment at DHMC. I guess this is the norm now? But there’s absolutely zero continuity of care, and I often feel pretty rushed.

Blame Covid. It’s the government’s answer to any question nowadays.

Every job in every sector is understaffed. It’s the new reality we live in. Not entirely sure what everyone is doing….

Does everyone still want us to build more housing here in Vermont?
Didn't think so.

Have you compared this against annual reports from previous years?
Just based on this document, the amount of outstanding delinquent taxes at the end of the year looks high, but not that much higher than the previous year. Looks like there was about $7,850 in delinquent 2020-2021 taxes still outstanding at the end of 2021. Not that far off from $10,300.

Wood stairs get icy, and traction strips just ice over too. What about studded footwear or traction spikes?

This is exactly what I have…an old pair of Mucks with Yaktrax spikes that stay on them. Easy to slip on and off every time the dog insists on going out.

I have a pair of Ice Bugs I only use for walking the dog after snow/freeze. They have 100% kept me on my feet. I like them better than the things you have to put on the shoe because I'm lazy.

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
