I can name you any number of friends and business associates who would love to strike out on their own but are afraid or unable to leave jobs they loathe. Why? Where would they find affordable health insurance?
And so they stay, handcuffed to a desk, working "for the benefits." Dispirited, their talents languishing and under-utilized.
So I support efforts to dramatically reform health care and the health insurance market. I believe that there are millions of entrepreneurs-in-waiting out there, ready to re-make large swaths of our economy, just waiting for common sense to prevail and for the threat of personal bankruptcy due to health care costs to be removed before they make the jump.
Who knows what they'll produce once they're free? I don't know, exactly. I do know they've had plenty of time to ponder. Unleashing their ideas and energies is a huge but unaccounted-for benefit of remaking American health care. So let's get to it.
