I may be helping to set up a company in the USA this year, and one item that we'd need to address is health insurance. From the employer perspective, what companies are "good" and how much does it cost? I had someone tell me I should count on $1000/mo for each employee. Is that crazy? Does it vary much from state to state? @KPHMPH didn't you go through this recently?
Being a Canadian, this is all really confusing to me, but I can appreciate how a good heal insurance plan is required to attract and retain employees. I can also assume that a well-organized insurance provider can reduce the administrative burden on the company, which is important for a new business.
