I don't know if a health care plan like that is legal in your state (where I don't practice), but I'd be relatively certain it couldn't be called "insurance."  Insurance in general is a very tightly regulated industry; in many states, the government actually decides the policy language.  To be allowed to do business as an insurance company in most states, the state government has to approve and there are very serious financial responsibility requirements that have to be met.

If you want to set up something like this, I think it's absolutely necessary for you to discuss your plan with a California attorney.  One place to look for qualified lawyers is our website, http://attorneypages.com
