- 7Why did my small business health insurance go up 200%?Insurers penalize small groups when even a single employee has high medical claims, leaving employers with massive rate hikes or terrible fallback options like 20 percent co-insurance. This dynamic forces very small organizations to choose between unaffordable coverage or abandoning group insurance entirely.
- 6Is it safe to get expensive dental work done abroad?High domestic dental quotes—ranging from thousands of dollars for human crowns to massive vet bills for pets—force people to look for treatment options closer to home or abroad. Without finding affordable alternatives, patients are left unable to afford necessary procedures.
- 4Employer dropping health insurance after a major medical claimSelf-funded company plans sometimes push high-cost patients off coverage when their medical claims become too expensive. This leaves families dealing with a severe illness or a child with cancer forced to hire attorneys and fight their own employer just to keep their insurance.
- 4How can small businesses afford twenty dollar minimum wage?Steep minimum wage hikes and soaring labor costs leave small business owners making less than their staff while working seven days a week. Without increased revenues, owners are forced to cut staff on slow shifts or freeze wages, making it impossible to fund competitive salaries and health benefits without going broke.
