Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

     A friend of mine in North Carolina is starting up a small firm (<10 employees initially) and asked me some advice about medical coverage options.  Many of the principles are retired military and have coverage; others do not. 
     He asked about larger firms (Blue Cross/Blue Shield, etc.) but I thought they serviced larger employee bases.  Is that correct?  Anyone have any ideas or leads for medical coverage for smaller firms and/or co-op options?
     Thanks.
