From today’s Joplin Globe:
JOPLIN, Mo. — Joplin will go to a self-funded form of health insurance for city employees to try to save money rather than buy insurance from a major carrier, the City Council decided Monday night.
The move may not result in immediate savings, but coverage could cost less over a period of years, the council was told by representatives of a Chicago consulting firm the council hired to give it options to consider.

As a side note, the City of Neosho and the Neosho R-5 School system are both on a self-insured plan and have been for some time.
