It's been tried for years. Truly if you consider the number of people in this industry, the internet percentage is very small. Add to that the fact that there is no single organization that can make enough contractors happy to get a large enough membership. Even at its best the **** was only up to about 500 members and still costs wasn't effective enough to get folks to buy insurance therefore, that percentage was even smaller.
You are talking about health insurance, right? That's the only one that could be a group thing. If the local networks begin taking off there is a future potential for small localized groups to possible get plans together that ultimately could become large enough to go nationwide but that's years away. You'd do just as well to explore your Home Builders Assn, or other orgs like BOMA or IWCA or even the Home Depot Business Toolbox - I think they have insurance for small businesses.
