It's amazing how so much of healthcare tech is designed to plug holes in a healthcare system that's very specific to the US.

Personally I'd be worried about growth if I were a founder: can this expand to other countries? What if the US moves to a public healthcare system one day?

On the other hand, healthcare administration headcount has grown over 1000% since 1970, and few things grow as fast. Feels like plenty of runway.

Health Tech Product Builder here - thinking about expansion outside of the United States is a champagne problem that they can solve later and also:

lol on public option. We are barely keeping the lights on at the FDA, CDC and VA. The administration is trying to defund every public service it can think of.
