Another One Bites the Dust

It looked good on paper, but organizers of a health insurance cooperative for Moore County are puzzled that not enough people signed up for it.

The prospects seemed great because the area had a modern hospital, an extensive physician network and a largely wealthy population. Health insurance is out of reach for about five-thousand small-business workers in the county.

Only about half the minimum number of 400 participants signed up for CoverMoore in the three-month enrollment period last fall.

Kinda makes you wonder how well the AHP (association health plans) will work . . .
