What Percentage Of Small Businesses Provide Health Insurance? 
The percentage of small businesses that provide health insurance to their employees is hard to calculate . Firstly , the definition of a small business can vary . It could be considered as a few as 2 employees or as many as 50 . Also , this number will probably be dropping in 2014 , when many businesses decide to eliminate offering healthcare toemployees , since it is more cost-effective to pay a penalty .
