It not the simple for folks with congenital health conditions or who are can't function due to a medical disorder without some prescription which is easily affordable with insurance, but impossible to afford in a "ramen profitable" san insurance context. An easy example would be someone with severe adhd. The relevant sort of medication can cost as little as 30 dollars with insurance, but total around $400 dollars otherwise (apparently there can be a nontrivial difference in efficacy of generic versus nongeneric). Such a person, working at/on a startup, would need to be able to functionally transition between working on a variety of tasks through out the day, ever day, irrespective of how engaging each task is to work on. These are precisely the circumstances where that person's adhd would be most problematic. And thats a simple example, what about say a person with Crohn's Disease (and need to be able to cover the expenses that happen whenever it becomes problematic), or someone with bipolar disorder who with the right prescription and monitoring at worst has on vs off weeks in terms of productivity. Yes, these examples are relatively sparse, but nonetheless there are certainly easy to construct examples where the absence of insurance to cover certain regular expenses makes "ramen profitable" untenable
