Does The Employer Pay For Health Insurance? 
Group health insurance is health insurance a business owns and offers to its employees . The business generally pays for a percentage of the premiums -LRB- e.g. 50 % -RRB- with the employees paying the rest . It 's often offered as a means of attracting people to come work from them . Group health insurance quotes are based on the size of your business , the industrys SIC code , age of employees , and average employee health -LRB- except in Maryland , which requires no medical underwriting -RRB- . There are no instant online quotes for group health insurance for these reasons . To get a quote for group coverage , it 's most helpful to consult with an experienced broker who can shop for quotes with multiple companies in one place - having too many `` hands in the cookie jar '' can make things very confusing . Please let me know if I can be of further assistance . Thanks very much .
