i'm assuming my association you mean a group of consultants working
together under an umbrella organisation - in general this sounds like
a scam to me, buy the insurance its best in the long run - so what if
you spend an extra couple of hundred dollars, its worth it - just double
check what you are buying.

sorry if this is not that much use to you,
