My question is how many people work in the health insurance industry in Vermont and how many of them will be unemployed by the end of this year? Then, since the state does not actually have to begin funding it until 2013, how many of those insurance industry workers will be unemployed by the end of 2012?

Why would they be unemployed by the end of this year? And why is it more of a concern that the health insurance industry might go belly-up when business after business, industry after industry across the nation have gone belly-up? It's not as though the insurance industry as a whole is going to die. Those employees will at least have experience to take elsewhere, whereas that's not the case for thousands of laid off workers who will have to be retrained in some other job discipline because the jobs themselves have become obsolete.
Why would they be unemployed at the end of this year? Because the Health Insurance Industry can see the writing on the wall. They will begin cutting staff immediately.
Who said it was more of a concern? It is a concern, period. Do you really want to see more of your neighbors unemployed?
The health insurance industry as a whole will go belly up adding an influx of individuals to the roles of the unemployed, making finding a job for everyone else that much more difficult and the Democrats that drove the sword of death into the heart of the health insurance industry will blame Republicans for that... "where are the jobs you promised?"
