Just a miscellaneous thought here but with all the federal employees:
Would a self-insurance plan be a good idea?

We have so many options it is difficult to determine which to choose. We would be paying a company to take premiums and process claims. It is not that I am negative on profits but I am the co-op kind of person on certain necessities. I would prefer to have the rules set by a small representative group of "experts" from the insured group versus the government or company telling me what to do.

Personally, I would switch to a health insurance policy that only kicks-in after a large deductible, which is sometimes called emergency health insurance. You could have pools for various levels of insurance based on your risk from which to choose. Pools could be based upon experience would start with low premium high deductible and range to high premium no deductible with maybe 10 or 20 pools. All you would have to decide is how much risk you personally want to assume for health insurance.

I know that there are a lot of variables to consider and that this has probably been considered before but what do you all think?
