Benton, KY – Marshall County small business owners can now get a discount on employee health insurance. The Marshall County Chamber of Commerce is one of eleven local chambers on Kentucky's Chamber Advantage program, which gives a two-percent discount to businesses that use Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance. Marshall County Chamber Executive Director Debbie Buchanan says officials wanted to give more benefits to their members. Businesses with between two and 99 employees are eligible. So far, 558 state businesses participate in the program.
