It is rather odd when we compare the traditional US system that ostensibly provides health (and why skeptics call it the “sickcare” system) to how much of the rest of the world operates.

When people do step out as entrepreneurs in the US, they may often neglect their health to focus on what they’re building. Some get lucky — either with their org, health, or both. I’m guessing the majority end up paying a heavier price later for delaying the important, preventive stuff (like a colonoscopy) because it was expensive and inconvenient.
