All types of insurance might be an issue for entrepreneurs, especially if they are not covered by a partner, parent, past employer, or the government. Insurance can range between hundreds to thousands of dollars per month, not including costs related to appointments, procedures, equipment, and rent. This reality might drive individuals away from pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams and steer them towards the benefits provided by a private employer.
