i would say that you can't talk about this completely without mentioning health care. the US health care system will absolutely extort and annihilate your net worth at first opportunity (legions of unnecessary tests/unaffiliated personnel/surprise billing/etc) should something bad happen to you. good luck starting a business like that. yes those words are appropriate: they are criminals that extort and ruin for profit. many in US are tied to jobs solely for health coverage. so you need to divorce those to have any chance at spinning up entrepreneurship, education, and so forth.

Health Insurance is the only thing that makes me feel like my employer has "leverage" over me. That is such a back-breaking expense when your employer is not footing most of the bill that basically all of my other expenses are insignificant by comparison. Thankfully, I think we're finally nearing critical mass of people who realize health insurance in the US is completely fucked, that something has to change before long (a decade maybe?).
