There is a bit of info posted on the program on the FEC's website at:

http://thefec.org/projects/peach/

PEACH is designed for communities that have taken on covering *all* of 
their members' health costs.  I personally would be thrilled to see 
cohousers develop a companion program, or to offer a full coverage option, 
either one would be sooo great.  We are looking for something like this at 
my community too.

Cheers,
