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

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.

Especially when you consider that unemployment insurance is only about
$1200 - $1400 per month!
