I have what I think is a pretty good idea for a small business that would probably employ 5-10 people. There is no way I can pursue that and take the risk of leaving my family without medical care during the typical 2-3 unprofitable startup years, so I stay in the corporate cube.
Did you say stifling of innovation? Perhaps this effect is not undesired by the large corps that have reasonably good heath plans?
My hunch is that the corporations don't much care, and quite a few of them are groaning beneath the weight of their medical coverage obligations anyway. But is there any compelling reason that our public policy and social welfare system should be set up to encourage Cranky to remain in his cube, rather than go make a better ice cream cone?
