I don't know where you're from or what your healthcare system is like, but I'm in Western Europe and six months in the hospital with your company without a leader will ruin you if you have only 25k in the bank.
I don't know why my fellow European are so self-righteous about 'our' healthcare system - don't believe the bullshit you're being told about how great our socialism is, I'm going through a 'light' version of it right now and it ain't all roses and sunshine. And I'm in one of the richest countries of the world that is consistently ranked at the top in healthcare - snicker.
(yes I realize that in the US health care is more expensive and that a broken leg will set you back there more than over here, but if you think that you're shielded from the financial effects of health issues over here you're deluding yourself)
This post is nonsense. You don't understand just how bad the American healthcare system is. Of course a medical emergency is going to set you back, the difference is it won't destroy your finances for the rest of your life.
Maybe I don't, but saying 'I don't need to worry about the financial side of medical issues because I live in Europe' is nonsense too, especially when you have your own business.
It's an exaggeration, but the difference between getting a "winning" ticket in the freak accident lottery in Europe is worlds apart from the same thing happening in the US. In Europe you might lose your business. In the US you'll probably never get a chance to try again.
