Wasn't intended to be a jab... just a reflection on my own reaction reading it. Up until reading the parent comment, not once did I think about the potential financial ruin of this family (whereas the comment suggested that that was one of the immediate thoughts in his/her mind). I personally find it interesting and worthy of discussion that different developed nations can have such different "risk profiles" for entrepreneurs. If anything, it makes me respect US founders even more... since when they set out (and presumably don't have insurance yet), they are risking far more (i.e. their family's long-term financial destitution) vs. a founder in a country with public healthcare. Not an expert on this, just my reflections.
