If you start with 3 other co-founders, you can get the same deal (mostly) that your employer gets.
Also HSA's and high deductible health plans are likely to cost less than paying out for "Universal" coverage. Best yet, is that these solutions don't suffer from a tax-drag on entrepreneur ship that the article is so concerned with.
- DenisM 17y agoHow would you go about finding such coverage (for 3 founders)?
- davidmabe 17y agoJust call an insurance broker. I recently went shopping for health care coverage expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised how close the quotes were to my employer provided plan. I took away from it a feeling that I am less stuck than I thought I was, even before universal health care.
- utnick 17y agothat works as long as your 3 co-founders are relatively healthy and have been healthy their whole lifes, if one of them develops a problem you can expect your premium to skyrocket into unaffordability
- thelonecabbage 17y agoGroup health care plans (what your employer gives you) are given largely without consideration for the health of the individuals involved. Basic tests, like making sure you don't have a major heart problem and pee tests are involved but thats it. Friends of mine who have a business with only 3 employees listed me as one of their employees to get the number up to four. Some how I was registered whilst living in another country. And I believe there are already laws on the books about pre-existing conditions (assuming you have continuous coverage)
