MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Gov. Peter Shumlin says the state of Vermont is going to save $10 million a year by switching the company that manages the health insurance plan for state employees.

State also selected its current providers, Express Scripts and Northeast Delta Dental, to contract for its drug benefit program and dental coverage.
