I've yet to see 'results.' Now mind you, the Democrats may do what they wish on their own and they might. They have the majorities in both houses, so they can. The price? Perhaps 2010 and beyond...
No, you wouldn't see any results yet because nothing has been done yet.
How exactly are private co-ops such a bad thing in your opinion that establishing them would cost the Dems so dearly?
I've missed something here, give me a link to your private co-ops. If we are addressing allowing like businesses to group together for 'big business' rates, we're on the same page.
Have you ever been part of a co-op? I've had them for things like electrical and water service and enjoyed good service at lower rates than others with corporate services. The whole premise behind a co-op is just as you describe, it is people or businesses joining together in essence to insure themselves as usually a non-profit entity. The customers are also the owners. It could work.
