Small business with fewer than 5 employees cannot find affordable group health insurance due to small team size, facing high premiums and deductibles from traditional carriers.

Traditional group health insurance carriers (e.g. Aetna) offer unaffordable rates for very small teams (under 5 employees), and individual plans through brokers are still expensive with high deductibles.
