What would happen if a group, say 5-6 small businesses, got together and contracted with an independent clinic/physician to provide their non-hospital health care? The company could afford the cheaper catastrophic insurance for hospital coverage since most health care dollars are spent after an employee retires and if it was a contracted service, the price would be subject to negotiation and essentially cut out the non-hospital insurance company's premiums. Many large companies who are self-insured are going to a similar model.
