Part 2: Holding Big Insurance Captive
Following up on their heralded May article regarding Indian self-insurance, Gabe Galanda and Jim Robenalt authored Part 2 of "Holding big insurance captive" in this week's Indian Country Today. Gabe and Jim delve even deeper into the homegrown risk coverage opportunities for tribes. Their first article generated a lot of positive feedback and questions, which are answered in Part 2. Forming tribally self-funded insurance and leveraging the significant private insurance cost savings is yet another way to strenghten and diversify Indian economies. Ask the Mashanucket Pequot Tribe, the Navajo Nation and the Blackfeet Nation, and the tribal equity owners of AMERIND. Let's hope the self-insurance trend continues throughout Indian Country.
