There was some group out there that I ran into at some convention in Canada 
that was flogging the benefits of membership as being the collective 
purchasing power of group benefits package. Never followed up, wish I did, as 
dental bills are starting to hurt in more ways then one. Over the next couple 
of months I will need to revinvestigate such an option due and suggest that 
perhaps if others do the same and post in this or another forum we can 
collectively sort this issue out. Im sure there has to be options..:)
