What
the heck is a health care cooperative?
Why do
I care?

A health
care cooperative combines your buying strength in
the health insurance arena. American Pharmacies
members have the opportunity to band together to
save $$ on health insurance for their staff and
their own families. Whether you're in the market
for a new policy right now or not, we believe the
MD Health Group cooperative is
worth a look.

think.
DEADLINE: Friday, June
4.
The purpose of a cooperative is to band
together a large number of employers to obtain
health and related employee benefits. The MD
Health Group cooperative uses its purchasing power
