> Employer-sponsored healthcare is aggressively anti-entrepreneurial and any universal program would be a massive boon to independent workers and those who own or want to start their own business.
Can't emphasize this too much.
I'd rather start a small startup of my own, but the only thing that always keeps me away is health insurance in the US. I have enough savings that I could afford to pay all my expenses for many years so I'd be comfortable with no revenue for a long time.
Except for health insurance, which currently is $2500/month through company group plan, surely even more expensive for a new tiny startup. Can't do it.
I guess I need to wait until I qualify for medicare to try my hand at my own startup.
