Dear Mr. Potter, As the new legislation moves from framework to execution, ongoing creative ideas to increase access to healthcare and better service are essential. Since you know the insurance industry intimately, are well-connected and are passionate about this issue I want to plant the seeds of an idea past you and your community. Many of the problems with the system stem from the fact that insurance companies have a remit to be profitable and increase shareholder value. I don't begrudge them this because they never said they were charities. However, lacking a public option for competetion why not form a member-based, non-profit insurance company? It's mission would be different - providing healthcare insurance for anybody who joins and timely payment to the providers. At the end of the year any profits, less a small development or rainy day fund, would be refunded to its members. How? Assemble the right cast of characters to takeover a current for-profit insurance company, one that is undervalued and fledgling, in a private equity sort of deal. Is it feasible? I'd run with it if I came from the industry myself. Think member-based business league (501c6) not charity. J
