I am almost 32 years old and pay $120/month for insurance with Kaiser (I have been very happy with them, and even had surgery done under Kaiser). I don't think this is necessarily a huge expense in the startup world, where people often spend this much on cable tv, cell phone plans, etc. I would guess a fair amount of people interested in entering the startup space are younger and healthier than I am. I am a little bit dubious that such a health care system would cause a startup boom - in fact, if you look at other countries with similar health care policies, they have far fewer startups per capita. This is not to say its a bad idea (you be the judge of that) - just that I don't think it will instill dramatic change in the startup scene.
