Underdog Brock Slams Governor Shumlin on Health Care

With less than two weeks to go before the election, the Republican candidate for governor of Vermont is expressing confidence he can pull off an upset win over the Democratic incumbent, Gov. Peter Shumlin.

Randy Brock made a campaign swing through the eastern side of the state last weekend, and, at an appearance in Bethel, spent much of his time talking about health care.

He says he disagrees with the Shumlin administration's push for a single-payer health insurance system. He believes expanding competition and choice among insurers is the best way to bring down h

ealth care costs.

The 69-year-old Brock, a retired executive vice president of Boston-based Fidelity Investments, currently represents Franklin County in the state Senate.
