Morning Watch: "Meet the Press" Features Vermont's Single-Payer Debate
NBC's "Meet the Press" journeyed north this Sunday to document Vermont's flirtation with "Canadian-style" health care reform.

As part of the program's "Meeting America" series, NBC correspondent Kevin Tibbles explored what single-payer-style health care could mean for Vermont and the nation — and how many Vermont cliches he could fit into a 4:05-minute piece. 

The segment was light on policy specifics and mostly featured commentary from a smattering of Derby Line residents, but it did feature a brief cameo from our colleague, the Vermont Press Bureau's Neal Goswami. Here's hoping he's tapped to replace MTP host David Gregory after the election.

Here's the story:
