One fear that drove the creation of state funds was:

State funds were created in part to address administrative shortcomings in the private insurance system. The worry was that private insurers could be slow, inconsistent, or costly in handling claims and issuing coverage, leading to fragmented administration and inefficiencies for employers and workers. A state fund offers centralized, standardized, and more efficient claim processing and administration, reducing those bureaucratic frictions. That potential to improve how things are run administratively is the reason this option is the best fit. The other ideas reflect access and affordability concerns, not the drive for streamlined administration. Private insurers refusing coverage or charging high rates would push for a public option to ensure availability and cost control, while strong economic growth isn’t a fear that typically motivates creating a state fund.
