There are no examples of a medical co-op, MM. That's why they would have to be established. I thought anybody following the health care debate would know that and didn't appreciate the obvious snark in her answer. It was bitchy. If she honestly did not know that and though tI was holding out on her, then I owe her an apology.
Of course there are medical co-ops. This is a link to the co-op the Senate Finance Committee is using as a model for their proposal.

I missed this before at the bottom of a page, sorry. I'm missing stuff all over the place today it seems. I understand how it works, but how does it compete with the traditional insurers?
Yes, it's been around since 1947, so they must be getting something right. It is essentially a non profit insurance company that is governed its members.
