I don't understand your logic. This is addressing a real problem faced by people in America. I think what you're saying is YC billionaires should be fixing everything about our healthcare system instead?

First, other billionaires have tried and failed[0]. Billionaires don't stand a chance against a trillion dollar industry. Second, did you ever consider that a more realistic approach is to start with easily addressible problems like this one rather than trying to boil the ocean.

Billionaires haven’t tried at all. They only tried to create a new profit center. They are 100% part of the problem.

The key issue is for-profit healthcare and capitalist methods isn’t going to solve it.
