NPR : Romney's Mission: Massachusetts Health Care: "Gov. Romney, a Republican and a former businessman, bases his support on economics. When Romney became governor three years ago, a business colleague urged him to do something about the 500,000 or more Massachusetts residents without health insurance. Nearly nine out of ten are in working families.

After studying the problem, Romney says, he came away with a key insight: 'People who don't have insurance nonetheless receive health care. And it's expensive.'"
