Biznik is going to offer health insurance for its members

This is an interesting development. Biznik is a Seattle-based group of people that are trying some bold experiments. Their primary experiment is to create a "radically different kind of Seattle business networking group", and their latest experiment is to give health care options to its members. The group is comprised mostly of freelancing and contracting professionals in a number of creative industries and so getting health care is a particularly fresh nightmare for most of them. So, ganging up and getting options for health insurance that just aren't possible for small companies or individuals sounds like a great idea. For more details about it, Chris Haddad answered a bunch of questions in this post.
