MA gubernatorial debate on Fox News: on Health Care


Kerry Healey: Save $160M by consolidating city & town insurance purchases

Q: There’s talk of a $160 million shortfall in the health care program you and the governor helped create. How are you going to pay for that?

HEALEY: [I would] consolidate all of our health care purchases for our cities and towns and have them bought through the state group insurance commission. That will take literally hundreds of millions of dollars that is wasted right now and put it back onto the plate of our cities and towns and that will relieve the pressure on local taxes.
