My tiny company (usually 1 or 2 employees) had been using BCBS for a 
decade or so now. We are actually a corporation (people are corporations 
too my friend! ;) ) .. IIRC they have a unit that specifically deals 
with very small businesses.

If you want, contact me off-list and I'll see if I can connect you with 
my BCBS account guy.. we just got a new "account executive" this season 
(first time since we've been with BCBS), and I haven't dealt with him 
directly yet.
