Makes you wonder how many non rich people who could start businesses and stuff are working for corporations just fir the health insurance. I think it’s many and it’s a huge drain on innovation. On the other had it keeps the little guys dependent on corporations so I guess it’s a welcome feature for the upper class.
- heavyset_go 5y agoRates of entrepreneurship are higher in Scandinavian countries[1]. I believe that comes down to the fact that in those countries, you don't have to already be wealthy enough to afford the $36k in premiums alone each year in order to just insure a family with one kid on the individual insurance market. That $36k doesn't include the $18k+ yearly deductible, nor the co-pays or cost of care or medicine when actually utilizing the insurance.
