Good luck, this is a good idea. The problem is not just compensation:

I believe there are tons of talented developers "locked up" in large corporations due to health insurance / health benefits, especially those with kids. Universal health insurance would help start-ups and small business compete with the Facebook's and Google's and also Bank of America's as health care would become an "even playing field".

Currently most small business and start-ups cannot compete with the health care and other benefit cost structures large American firms can achieve.

In fact, lots of corporate roll-ups exist only to reduce benefit costs - think of them as large health insurance providers.
