The Club of Cos

Let’s reform the “Club of Cos”.

First, we must understand Ivan Illich’s meaning when he identified the Club of Cos. He coined the epithet to describe the complex of provider, payer and pharma. This club is built upon systems that reduce the individual’s autonomy. Without restoring autonomy to the individual, no effective healthcare reform will take place.

So, this diary of thoughts and conversations is dedicated to transforming the Club of Cos from its pejorative embodiment to a stimulating association of thoughtful, innovative and engaged individuals, who seek a better way.

Welcome to the club!
