Information on Contacting the Governor and the VT Legislature

Attention VPharm Participants

Governor Douglas has proposed that the Vermont Pharmacy Assistance Program (VPharm) be eliminated from the State budget.

We need to let our State government know that VPharm is not the place to save money. Don’t make seniors have to choose between medicine and other necessities such as housing, food or heat.

We need your help!

Please call your local legislators and Governor’s Hotline immediately with the following message: Keep Funding VPharm – Our health is not negotiable.
