I think that if such a fund/system is made, it really should be handled by the foundation though. Plus, that association sounds too much like the (perhaps stereotypical) american healthcare system to me. If a person does not belong to that association and something happens, then just too bad so sad?
Um, it may sound like an american healthcare system, but it sounds a lot like thousands of similar associations around the world. I was actually thinking of something like a union, or a players' association for various sports.
And yes, if you don't contribute to a fund, you can't really expect it to look after you. Wikipedia is a slightly special case as serious editors are putting in a lot of time and effort for nothing, so maybe that could be taken into account.
