The only way I can afford insurance is because Minnesota has a state healthcare plan with premiums depending on your income. I'm very lucky, I realize not everyone has that option. But let me ask you this - when you buy the business, will you be looking for someone to pay for your insurance then? There are very few small businesses that do offer it because it's so expensive and profits are so low. Certainly no business owners expect anyone else to subsidize their healthcare. I don't feel that childcare providers are any different. We open these businesses in our home, knowing full well that we're giving up subsidized healthcare. I think it's grossly unfair that some want to have their own business but someone else pay their benefits as well. We can't have it both ways. Name: Email: Subject
