Who would support a citizen cooperative that offers a good private insurance? Under the given circumstances that could be the easiest way to get universal healthcare.
You mean like a health sharing ministry? Good ****ing luck, mate.
Starting our own competitive insurance companies that aim for a 25% of operating costs equivalent liquid asset stockpile and then after that 0% yoy profits could be wildly successful, but the major issue is still that medical prices get set by a cooperation between insurers and hospital corporations and state boards. If we have no method to control prices, like a government would, then people will still suffer and die due to unaffordable care.
