I might be living in a socialist paradise (Australia) or some thing but my last visit to the doctor (broken toe) was free.
I am truly horrified by the state of the US health system, sure Australia's might be a bit messed up at times but it is so much better than what Americans have to deal with.
Move your startup to Australia! Seriously, cheap/free heathcare for minor->medium problems (the bad stuff is still going to throw up some major bills but not bankruptcy worthy). As a plus we have a superior economy right now, better living standards and hot women.
Not sure the state of the laws regarding Americans access to our healthcare but worth a look.
- rdouble 16y agoThere's no visa that will let you do this. Australia has a points based immigration system. If you're younger than 25 and have an engineering degree you just barely have enough points to get a self-sponsored work visa. If you're older than 25 it's impossible to get enough points and you have to work for someone else (or marry an Australian). I'd love to be wrong about this, corrections are welcome.

- yaix 16y agoGood to know, thanks. I am actually considering moving to AUS, however not because of health care, being from Europe. Good to know its "socialist" in Australia too ;D
