Has YCombinator or some other sort of startup incubator considered offering health plans for startups? We're a pretty uniform population, low risk, and probably a bit smarter about lifestyle choices. I could imagine a package deal (office space, funding, health insurance) DONE.
- abyssknight 17y agoActually, that would make a good choice for a start up, no? The population is generally low risk for costly procedures and mostly need basic, no-frills care and if their business succeeds, they could be converted to a more corporate friendly policy. To be honest, I'm not sure why this hasn't been done yet.

- philwelch 17y agoHealth insurance is state by state--I can't keep my WA health insurance plan if I move to CA, for instance. Since YC already says "settle in Silicon Valley", I'm sure it would actually be easier for them to buy a deal from a CA health insurance company, though the legal wrangling would undoubtedly be epic. pg has remarked multiple times about why he doesn't provide office space, though. Not sure if the same rationale applies to health insurance.
