Taking back control of healthcare and taxes.
Why It's a different World for Group Healthcare
Economic dislocation has historically driven healthcare transformation.
In 2004, there were 23 national health insurance carriers. Today there are four ...and really only two in North Florida.
We think the shock of the Covid-19 pandemic will bring change to healthcare delivery for small business owners who feel like they are running a healthcare company too.
Specifically, we expect there will be a return to regional programs for small to midsized businesses. Like GM, these regional plans will leverage local hospital groups and open architecture funding to bypass the big carrier model. This puts control back in the hands of employers, patients, and doctors. The result is lower costs and higher quality care.

The City employs 9,000 and its small vendors employ 9,000. ...Guess which 9,000 pay more for their health insurance?
Businesses with 10-1,000 employees have been conditioned to either accept annual rate increases or switch to the other big carrier and re-start the process. We want to show area business owners a third option.
Pool their buying power to drive quality care at an affordable cost.

"The shame of it is, most employers don’t know they can manage their healthcare like any other supply-chain in their business. The insurance industry has conditioned us to think that their over-inflated products are the only option – and it’s simply not the case." - Michael Smith
