The Employer’s Insurance Dilemma

William owns a small business that sells eponymous novelties. He has nine employees and has always made it a priority to offer competitive benefits, including health insurance. unfortunately, last year one of his employees was diagnosed with cancer, which he continues to fight. Due to the sharp increase in use of health services by his employee group, the insurance company doubled his group premiums for the upcoming year. When William contacted other carriers, several of them would not consider insuring his group, and most of the others gave him quotes as expensive as his current carrier. one company gave him a lower quote, but it covered only catastrophic care; his employees would have to pay for the first $5,000 of care out of their own pockets. After reviewing his company’s finances, William is left with several unattractive options: stop offering health insurance; offer comprehensive health insurance but pass on the cost increase to his employees, which would make it unaffordable for most of them; offer the bare-bones catastrophic plan only; or significantly lower wages and other benefits to defray the rising health insurance costs pages (Not including abstract, title page, references, etc), APA formate, double spaced, New Times Roman font 12
