Hmm. If this is true, then why do there seem to be more (and more successful) tech start-ups in the US under the pre-Obamacare system than there are in, say, the UK, where almost all healthcare is covered by taxes and is free or nearly free at the point of use?
I guess it's not implausible that there's a separate factor that makes the US a better place to do a startup, and the current healthcare situation counts against that factor. But still.
