10As an Alternative to Health Benefits

increasingly unaffordable to offer health
insurance to their employees. - In 2006, only 60 percent of all employers with

down from 68 percent five years earlier1. - Fewer than half of very small firms (those with
three to nine employees) offer employer-sponsored
health insurance to their employees2. - The cost of health care has replaced concern
about energy and fuel as the leading issue
impacting small businesses3.
- The Solution HealthAllies

health care needs, including - Medical care, including hospitals
- Pharmacy
- Dental care

employees have employer-sponsored health
coverage1. - Seventy-two percent of ALL size companies do not

uninsured in a twelve-month period compared with
