I'm frankly surprised that there aren't any comparable organizations providing this service in other states. And a small correction, the FU currently offers coverage throughout New York state and "In 2014, we'll be sponsoring nonprofit, member-driven CO-OP health plans in New York, New Jersey, and Oregon."
We need something like this in Kentucky. I wonder if there are any case studies on what it takes to pull a cooperative insurance program together. I've looked over the FU (yeah, what an acronym..) site for such information in the past without success.
