More Control, Lower Costs: Why Breweries Are Turning to Self-Funded Health Plans

The average health insurance premium for families and individuals has increased more than 24% in the last five years, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. 

And there's no sign of this slowing down.

For breweries who want to provide good, affordable healthcare for employees these cost increases are a real problem.

One option to lower costs and provide better benefits comes in the form of self-funded health insurance.

Speaking from my own experience, self-funded health plans saved our company millions of dollars.

Yes. Millions.
