7:21That word engage is up there twice for good reason. Active, informed and compassionate engagement is only one of the untouchable qualities that set the co-op apart. Engagement is what gives the #cooperative it's life, it's culture and it's continued success. The whole of human history is evidence that we work best (for better or for worse) when we work together. Cooperation is simply the quality within us that allows our species to survive and flourish. Cooperation is the tool that is held not with the hand but within the heart.
This is about cooperative enterprise and not just a Co-op (lots o' baggage on that term depending upon your age cohort). Co-ops are businesses that are formed to meet the social, cultural and economic needs of its members.
That's not necessarily how coops work when were talking about things like credit unions or housing those coops give power to the people who own the shares the "members" as its typically called. The money that they pay into it typically goes to the workers providing that service who are often own a share of the coop as well.
Yeah, just checked it out. Seems like the government reneged on a promise made in the ACA to reimburse all insurance companies as part of this risk corridor program thing I don't really understand. It seems like bigger insurers were able to survive this policy change, but smaller companies like Colorado HealthOP couldn't. Shame!
Job automation and artificial intelligence will continue to put more people out of work on a global massive scale. And the capitalists and big business industrialists will use that to their own economic self serving advantage

Coops should be formed and owned my workers, not consumers
porteal depends on the need

Great vision
Nice .. I like this effort .. 👏👏👏
Just an FYI it only lasted 3 years. You can read up on it (keywords: Colorado HealthOP).

Nothing is hard
If you do participate with known people... Thirukkural says.
It is a tasty philosophy like first love.
Aren't you just trying to rebrand a Mutual insurance company ?
