The problem is that not providing health insurance for your employees can be more costly than providing it. Here are 5 reasons you should seriously considering small business health insurance:

1 - Health Benefits Attract Employees

In addition, health insurance allows them to have regular medical checkups that are designed to catch illnesses and diseases before they become hard to treat or life-threatening and before they require extended job absences.

5 - Health Benefits Can Help You Earn Incentives
The Affordable Care Act has created incentives for employers to develop wellness programs and other activities that support healthier workplaces. The maximum reward to employers using a wellness program that’s contingent on employee health has increased from 20% to 30% of the cost of health coverage. The maximum reward for programs designed to prevent or reduce tobacco use is 50%.

    Being a part of a presidential committee to restructure the Affordable Care Act would not be enough to fix the problem. The Federal government has no Constitutional authority to be involved in health care. People will cite the "general welfare" clause as permission, however, unless there is a specific responsibility spelled out, it is left up to the States and/or to the People. With this being said, there are still many issues with the ACA that I would try to fix, despite my opposition to the involvement of the Federal government. Health care and other benefits of employment were mostly unheard until Franklin Roosevelt issued an executive order freezing wages sometime during the Depression.…
