Pooling health insurance could save Maryland millions

Gov. Wes Moore and the Maryland General Assembly face a perpetual funding challenge: balancing the budget and managing revenues while meeting numerous needs and providing services. There are only three possible ways to address this. First, cut spending. However, each individual program and project has value, and its advocates would argue that it is worth keeping and/or should be expanded. Further, state money flows to the counties, especially for education, and so state spending reductions hurt local entities as well.
