The Real Cost of ACA Plans for Small Businesses (And a Smarter, More Affordable Solution)

Providing healthcare for employees is one of the biggest financial challenges small businesses face. Many turn to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace for coverage, only to find that the costs are much higher than expected. While the ACA was designed to make healthcare accessible, its financial burden on small businesses can be overwhelming.

So, what does ACA coverage really cost, and are there better alternatives? Let’s break it down.

The High Cost of ACA Plans: Let’s Talk Numbers

On average, an ACA plan for an individual costs more than $450 a month. For small businesses with multiple employees, this quickly adds up, creating a real challenge when trying to balance budget and employee care.

Hidden Costs of ACA Plans for Small Businesses

It’s not just the monthly premiums that add up. There are other costs to consider, making ACA plans even pricier for small businesses:

  • Higher Deductibles: Many ACA plans come with high deductibles, meaning employees pay thousands out of pocket before coverage kicks in.

  • Limited Network Coverage: Some plans restrict access to providers, forcing employees to either pay more or switch doctors.

  • Compliance Costs: Businesses with 50 or more employees must comply with ACA mandates, leading to administrative burdens and potential penalties.

  • Premium Increases: Small businesses often face annual premium hikes, making long-term budget planning nearly impossible.
