Assuming your numbers government spends $15k for every 1 of those 300 people. That number seems pretty high.

The Tampa Bay investigation's violence refers to violence in the hospitals itself and not the general violence in society. For 13.5K per year you might reduce the hospital staff by 10% but that is unlikely to result into chaos that the report seems to suggest.

How cheap do you think room, board, and medical care should be?

By the way, for comparison, Medicare spends $10k/year per beneficiary in Florida.
