Ask HN: Health insurance for remote teams in US?

1 points by tdfx 12y ago ↗ HN

Anyone have a company with employees all in different states? If so, I'd love to hear about possible health insurance solutions. Do you subsidize individual plans for your employees, or is there some way to make it work with a multi-state group plan?

As I understand it, insurance companies can't really offer plans that cross state boundaries. Best thing is probably just to buy individual plans for each employee. Or you can tell your employees to buy their own plan, and send you the bill (this is what I do; my employer is in Washington and I am in Pennsylvania). Either way is is a bit easier with Obamacare than it used to be.
