Need To Buy Small Business Health Insurance in Martinsburg, WV and West Virginia

There are millions of small business owners across the nation. While most of them operate their businesses with the help of employees, it is necessary to provide some incentives and employee benefits apart from the conventional salary. For various reasons, they should consider offering small business health insurance in Martinsburg, WV, and West Virginia, which will prove beneficial in the long run. ​ The workforce under 65 is pleased to be covered by health insurance that enables them to remain healthy and receive treatment as and when required. Alternatively known as a group health insurance policy, this type of insurance also comes with several advantages for employers. Small business entities employing 2 to 50 persons for their work are not under any obligation to provide group insurance coverage to their employees.

Many such business owners find it profitable to do so despite not being made mandatory under the Affordable Care Act. Some of the pluses that make small business owners happy to pay the insurance premiums on behalf of their employees include the following: -

· Retention of Talent- It is shocking to realize that healthcare costs across the country have been increasing daily. The employees who work for minimum or modest wages are pleased to remain employed in a company that helps them obtain affordable health care as and when needed. Moreover, such insurance plans also provide preventive care to the insurers, thus keeping absenteeism low enough to improve productivity. The employer is delighted to earn the loyalty of the employees who continue to serve the business entity without considering moving to greener pastures. The employers thus avert frequent recruitment costs.

· Recruitment- Competition in the business world is cutthroat today, with many relatively large business entities having no qualms about poaching talent from small entities. The best way to hunt for talent is to provide group health insurance to the latent candidates, who are almost always pleased to join once convinced that the company will look after their healthcare needs. Therefore, sourcing the right candidates adds to the profitability of small businesses.

· Wellbeing of Employees- Human resource is the best resource that a business can have. Looking out for their wellbeing gives the said company a leading edge over their bigger rivals. Healthy employees are happy and will often look after their health issues by obtaining preventive care.

· Tax Benefits—While a small business may not be obligated to provide group health insurance to its workers, companies that do so benefit financially by qualifying for tax credits. This can enable the employer to be reimbursed for the insurance costs. Thus, it is important to note that providing group health insurance to the employees also happens to be a financially wise move.

Finding the right health insurance plan is easy when one uses the services of an experienced health insurance agent in West Palm Beach and Fort Pierce, FL, who looks out for the customer.

it is absolutely BONKERS to me, the number of people in the united states i have talked to who have never even heard of the battle of blair mountain. how the largest labor uprising in our history manages to skirt by so many leftists unknown is just downright astonishing. the largest labor uprising, and the largest armed uprising, period, since the civil war.

did yall even hear me?

THE LARGEST ARMED UPRISING!! besides the civil!!! fucking!! war!!! was fought in 1921 in the name of LABOR RIGHTS AND UNIONS by TEN THOUSAND RIGHTEOUSLY PISSED, STRIKING COAL MINERS

these absolute fucking LEGENDS marching out the hollers of west virginia, wearing their red bandanas and wielding their papaw's shotguns pointed at the lawmen. waging war against the fucking UNITED. STATES. MILITARY!!! for their right to work safely and be paid fairly!!!

i love gecs so much and i should probably explore more of Dylan Brady's solo stuff but dear lord I hope Laura returns to her roots a bit sometime. just the emotions in her solo work are unmatched to anything 100 gecs has ever done (NOT QUALITY. just like rawness). if she did a solo hardcore album nobody would be able to stop me

posting here because this just doesn’t feel right to talk about in the horseimagebarn voice but this is extremely important to talk about.

my partner and i have returned to our hometown to stay with her family and my own has gotten a hotel here too (they moved to the town we currently live in after we did) so we are all safe and out of the thick of it

however there are tens of thousands of people who are not both in my own town and in the many surrounding it. appalachia will take an extremely long time to recover from this and there are more storms on the way. all i see on social media right now is people asking for shelter because their homes have been destroyed, or people asking for help searching for family members who are missing. hundreds of trees have fallen. hundreds of homes have flooded. roads are literally falling apart. preexisting sinkholes due to shitty pipes are opening up and consuming land. dams are on the verge of bursting and the only way to stop it is to release water so quickly it floods whole towns. all but one of our cell towers are down, so only people with at&t have service and the rest can’t contact anyone. over half the town still doesn’t have power. a major water supply issue occurred and the entire town is on a water boil order with no electricity to boil with. people are trapped in their homes and workplaces or out on the street because they have nowhere to go. law enforcement is blocking off roads but trapping people in the process. people have to be rescued by helicopter. our animal shelter has no water or power and boarding facilities have been flooded. entire villages like chimney rock nc are gone, and entire cities like asheville are cut off from the rest of the state and are completely inaccessible. ALL OF THE ROADS IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA ARE CLOSED. 400+ roads are closed because they are unsafe . that is INSANE!!!

when people say that climate change isn’t real, they don’t know what they’re talking about. climate change and its father capitalism are only going to continue to worsen lives in every way possible. i live in the mountains and our infrastructure is completely unprepared to handle hurricanes and it’s only going to get worse. it’s such a strange and eye-opening experience to live something like this when you think that it could never happen to you because that type of weather shouldn’t reach you in your environment. climate change doesn’t care where you live. it’s real.

western north carolina and the rest of the southeast that has been hit by helene need help. more people need to be talking about this so that the government DOES SOMETHING because the government historically fucking hates appalachia and it still does!!! the major state institution near me took DAYS to respond despite being the only place in town with power and wifi connection because they had to wait for the state to approve their response—they could have allowed thousands of people to evacuate days prior to the hurricane hitting us but they didn’t do anything before or after until it was too late!!! it’s bullshit!!! PLEASE get talking about this because something has to be done. climate change is going to continue happening and our mountains and the people in them are going to suffer immensely. hundreds if not thousands are now homeless. please talk about this look at the footage online of the wreckage and look how quickly our infrastructure crumbled. we need better. the people of appalachia deserve better.

i’ll get back to posting horses soon. but for now this is a lot. my friends are homeless and my family had to get off the mountain or be trapped there without power and water for days. we’re all safe but exhausted. i hope everyone who has been affected by this is staying safe. if you are in western nc, dm me. when i come back, if you’re in my area, im happy to bring supplies. stay safe everyone

Eddie: Hey, Stevie. I saw a butterfly today.

Steve: Did you murder it too?
