Package for Single* Employees

2. Let’s first define the key term!
 Whom is considered a single
employee?
 Any employee who is not married and/
or does not claim a dependent on tax
forms
He who enjoys good health is rich, though he knows it
not. –Italian Proverb

3. Why single out the Single employee?
 Many do not qualify for state or
federally funded programs that
assist with insurance costs
 Examples: Medicare, Public Assistance

4. Why single out the Single employee?
 Long-term planning: Single
employees save the
company/shareholders more $$
 They are more flexible with
schedule changes
 Statistically have more On-the-Job
skill/ technical training
 Usually subsidies are for big families
or seniors

5. What is the Problem?
 While it may seem that single
employees pay lower insurance rates,
many are not.
 High- deductibles
 Not able to afford costs if a medical emergency
happens
 Out of pocket expenses & prescriptions are not
covered
 Slack on check-ups and testing

6. Possible Solutions for Single
Employees if proposal is not accepted
 Get married or have children
 Have savings put aside for yearly
“emergency visits”
 Get personal insurance not affiliated
with our company
 NEVER NEED MEDICAL
 ATTENTION!!

7. What we can do as a company
 Offer lower
deductible plans
for single
employees
 Company
“matching policy”
for co-pay,
prescription &
other out of pocket
expenses

8. CONCLUSION
 Everyone deserves affordable health care
especially if they are working for our
company
 Accepting this proposal would create &
promote a healthier and more safe work
environment for ALL employees
 Reward single employees & encourage
them to focus on advancing their careers
for our company!
