Well now, "2 of us" + 4 employees kind of obsfucates just "the 2 of us", but ... hey, you could obligate yourself to providing group coverage for all your customers, too (who, are your "employers" by analogous similarity, aforementioned, ... uh ... which would further obsfucate just "the two of us", ... but you can make it up in volume! <g>).

>>"Small business and individual plans are just over the top as far as price. That's why I think that individual, and small business should qualify by joining together and spreading the "risk pool" to get the premiums down a bit."<<

That's business, capitalism, negotiation, and free markets all rolled into one visionary package. |
