Abstract
Excerpts: Some cooperatives have become interested in group health and life insurance programs for their members and are seeking information about such plans. This publication describes the Member Health-Life Insurance Program operated by the Cooperative Grange League Federation Exchange, Inc., Ithaca, N.Y., (GLF). It mentions some of the problems encountered in getting the program underway, and indicates how these problems were handled. It lists benefits and costs, and provides information that will be helpful to managers and directors of other cooperatives in deciding whether or not such a plan would be feasible, practical, and useful for their own associations. GLF, a major regional farm supply and marketing association, launched the GLF Member Health-Life Insurance Program early in 1959. The program is now in its fifth year.
