RE: A decentralized solidary group as an alternative to health insurances. Artabana.
It sounds great on the surface, but it doesn't actually seem to be 'decentralized,' at least not entirely. You say that there is an individual 'jar,' a group 'jar,' a regional 'jar', etc. It sounds to me almost like a pyramid organization rather than a decentralized system. Very cool idea, though. Has anyone in your group actually had to use the regional or higher jar? Just wondering what the actual experience would be like when it is needed.
Hi @unicornking! Thank you. Well we're self-reliant local groups, we don't need anyone else in general, there is no central contact-point. That's very much decentralized. There's is no "1 point to run to" when you need something. Every single group takes care of itself.
We had several cases of cancer for example during the last 2 years, not in our group but in next-doors groups and local groups can't handle that anymore on their own. They ask for help. That's why we have the regional alliances. Every local group has a representative, they communicate among each other in case of an emergency. The different 'jars' allow us to make money accessible, fast and uncomplicated. e.g. when you need help from other groups. I hope that helped :)
