I would love to have a flexible schedule, where I could work part time, and my husband and I even discussed both of us possibly working part time so that our daughter wouldn't have to be in daycare, but if one of us does not work full time, we'd lose our health insurance. Could your guest please address how companies who do provide these flexible schedules provide health insurance to their employees?
