Welcome back to Relocalizing Health with Dave Chase. In this episode, Dave explores how communities can reclaim control over their healthcare dollars, drawing inspiration from cooperative models both in American history and abroad. Only about 15.5 cents of every healthcare dollar actually reach clinicians, with much of the money leaving local communities. He shares stories of towns and employers across the U.S. building local, community-owned health plans, without waiting for Congress or federal policy. Learn how the cooperative spirit that powered rural electrification, credit unions, and European health systems can offer a blueprint for sustainable, grassroots healthcare transformation right in your county. If you’re a civic leader, employer, medical professional, or simply a concerned neighbor, this episode will show you practical steps your community can take to build a healthier, more resilient future, starting today.
