I hate to say it I as an employer I am running into problems with health

employees fully cover it themselves instead of doing partial pay. This year
insurance cost has tripled for group coverage. I have checked into other
companies they are almost double my current cost. I also have checked with
the insurance companies I may go down to individual coverage and do partial
pay that it would be extremely cost effective but the companies may not
cover everyone. I do my best for my employees and want to do my best but
you can only go so far. Even COBRA has gotten really ridiculous

A few years ago I worked for a large regional grocery store chain. We had
decent benefits. But when I left, COBRA coverage for me and Nancy would
have cost us over $1000/month! That's just obscene.
