QUERY Volunteering and health care

I've been working to develop an SD model to demonstrate the potential impacts
(and costs) of volunteering as a partial solution to the soaring (budget-
busting) costs of Medicaid/Medicare and corresponding costs to the families
of the elderly and the economy. It's a big project with little support
internally within my Federal agency. But, based on some initial analysis
using Excel, could be a solid winner--demonstrating both the value of
volunteering and of SD analysis. Would anyone care to discuss possible
active participation in such an endeavor using iThink in a cooperative
fashion??? It is a project that could be handled in segments, but would
need significant research to inform model assumptions/variable value ranges.
I already have some ideas on the overall model design concept.

Thoughts? Would anyone like to discuss further?
