If the bill capped the total cost to 30 dollars he would not have vetoed it. The reason he vetoed it is because it would ultimately just trigger insurance companies to raise prices to cover it across the state. That goes against trying to keep healthcare affordable.

Except the insurance companies would have strong incentive to make sure that their clients take the $30 one instead of another one that force them to raise their prices.
