If your startup has 5-6 people, then you will have no problem getting a group health insurance plan in the US. Health insurance is really only a problem for very small pre-funding startups. In practice, it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. So far, the center of the tech startup universe seems firmly rooted in Silicon Valley and in no danger of moving to France, Canada, Australia, or Cuba, despite universal public health care in each of those countries. This is a point that gets a lot of rhetorical attention with little substantial evidence to back it up. In practice, if you're not resourceful enough to figure out a way to bridge the 6-12 months or so you need to build your startup to a point where it can provide insurance, then you just plain aren't resourceful enough to be an entrepreneur.
