In Washington State the Association of Washington Businesses (Average White Band as I like to call them) have a statewide buy-in policy that's half of what I paid when I had my own Blue Cross plan, it went up 2 percent last year while my old one averaged 10-15 percent annual raise and deductibles and other coverages (dental/vision) dirt cheap. My employees are young and cheap to cover, I love the plan!
