There was a guy on the radio one day explaining how you could have your own medical clinic, doctors, nurses, and everything right in your own neighborhood and save thousands on medical insurance if peope could work together. The frst year or 2 would be a bit tough, but if you had 100 families contributing $100/month....$10,000/month... $120,000/year... you also have the cash collecting interest...not too great right now, but it would start to compound pretty fast... So, you can see that in a community of perhaps 20 or 30 thousand..if you could convince half of them to contribute to the local medical/dental association, say 10,000 families, it wouldn't take too long to get rid of insurance and have pretty much free medical coverage. You may say, well that's a lot of cash, but most people blow off a lot more than that per month on useless trivial stuff.... It would in the end cost almost everyone a lot less for medical.dental...and you know that you could keep the cost under control as well...even reduce the overall medical cost.... Do you realize that 10,000 families paying $100/month for medical would contribute $12 MILLION dollars annually to this fund ???? plus interest gained Yes, people get sick, but if you had control of what it cost...hell, you could hire a couple of doctors at great salary...a couple of nurses, etc, etc...some admin , the whole deal and stay under budget and have cash left over... Insurance companies are sure some greedy people.
