Is There a Group Health Insurance for commended workers?
This is always on the burner but it is not a top priority. It seems wiser at this point in time to help commended workers afford one of the many individual health plans available than it would be to assume the “risk” of health-care expenses unnecessarily. Most group health care plans are very expensive, and only increase in cost each year. The chief benefit of group insurance is the ability to include those with pre-existing conditions on the insurance plan. Recreating such a big wheel makes little sense at this time and in this economy. Furthermore, group insurance has been created around companies. Assemblies by nature, unlike ecclesiastical denominations, are by their very theology and nature “non-organizational.” There is a touch of irony in trying to create a “group” insurance for a non-group of people who have for many decades resisted grouping, and organizational systematization.
