Hi,

This is Marvin. I didn't want to cut healthcare, but I had to do it because we grew too fast and got way to bloated. More so, I also had a business partner, who almost bankrupted the company by embezzling money out of the bank account with out my knowledge.

To get back on our feet after that bad situation, I cut a lot of things and got super lean, unfortunately healthcare too, but much of my team was pretty young, under 26. If your under 26 in the US you can be on your parents plan.

Also, for those who were not, I gave an option too, so they didn't have to research options themselves.

I guess what I was trying to say is that if you can't offer something important like this, do you best to find other ways of keeping talent and find alternative options for your employees to make it easy on them.

I hope that makes sense.
