Good Evening, I just was catching on emails, and read these post, we offer benefits to our team including health, the thing you will need to be aware of what group you go into, you have to decide is your group 90 percent healthy or do you have folks that have health issues, the difference the one plan will take anyone, the other will not if they have pre-existing or high risk, We use a local broker here in Columbus that will look at each company as a single group and as bigger group, let me know if you are interested in the contact information, I agree with Josh that it's hard to find good talent without have a good work place and benefits to go with it.
