The cost of health insurance is prohibitive for our company. I have been
hiring part time people but as our company grows, we are facing the problem of
having to provide benefits. We are in a low margin business and we are
struggling to hit volume levels at which we can afford this kind of overhead.
It is simply unaffordable. It isn’t fair that, as small business owners, we
have to pay so much more for health insurance for our employees and for our
own families, than larger companies. If the government wants to grow
employment, this problem needs to be addressed. Don’t forget that many of
today’s small businesses are tomorrow’s large businesses.
Why not create one large state-wide group for all small businesses? Then we
would be one of the largest groups in the State.
