Fuck the Congress....Let's start our own Health care Co-Op!

[JANdad]

Does anyone know what it would take to start up an "Insurance Co-op"; not for profit, policy holder owned pay-for-it-all Insurance Co-op?

1. Take what you are paying now for your health insurance.
2. Get employers on board to Direct Deposit what they are paying now (and possibly less with a Co-op).
3. Means test those w/o Insurance.
4. NO pre-existing conditions.
5. No Co-pays/Deductibles.

Tell me why WE can not do this ourselves! Fuck the Insurance companies and the Congress! Let's sink them and their bloated companies!

Discuss please!
