The state of US health insurance and care has become a competitive disadvantage that discourages innovation and entrepreneurship. That's very bad policy for any country, but particularly for one that prides itself on The American Dream, innovation, and being your own boss. Every entrepreneur, freelancer, and small business owner I know has a ridiculous story of costs, insurance debacles, and often care too. You'll also now hear absurd stories from people with group employer provided plans. That should be a national embarrassment.

Every other developed country in the world has figured this out, and at much lower cost.
