Eighty percent of new jobs in Connecticut are created by small businesses. But record numbers of businesses find it increasingly difficult to pay for skyrocketing health care costs.

Employers that don’t provide health benefits have higher employee turnover and have to spend additional dollars on recruiting and training employees. Their workers take more sick days.

Lost productivity hurts business and Connecticut’s economy.

Employers that do cover their employees struggle with escalating insurance costs and unexpected premium increases. Connecticut is the 3rd most expensive state in the US for family health care insurance coverage and the 5th most expensive for individual coverage.  When all workers are covered, health, morale and productivity improve. So does the bottom line.
