"We spend roughly $1 billion a year providing free health care to people who don't have insurance, and the cost of helping those people buy insurance is closer to $650 million," Romney said.
The state government would keep any money it saved in a special pool in case it incorrectly calculated the cost of universal health care, according to Romney.

If this is true then why doesn't the state help provide health insurance to those who don't have it and lower taxes $350 million?
Why the complicated formulas? If the state wants to provide universal healthcare then they should just provide it and raise or lower taxes accordingly. Who knows, maybe the insurance companies will give them a great group rate.
