I can't imagine not covering my employees with health insurance. It's
damned expensive and a pain in the ass but among the ways that I can
show them that we care about them and their family's welfare.

Some people seem to forget about how business related health care came
into effect. During WWII, wage and price controls were in effect.
Health care insurance was exempted, and used as a lure to hire better
employees. That lure still works. Don't provide health care, don't
expect quality employees, unless you are willing to pay them over market
wages, 20% over market wages.


Even temp agencies offer health and retirement benefits to lure good
workers. It's pretty standard.
