I don't think corporations had a smaller scope back then. Look up the Grange movement, trust busting and the progressive party. They were all responses to corporations having too much power, in fact control over many aspects of life and complete economic power over certain industries and groups of people. Government intervened, something which might not be possible right now.

Would it be difficult? If you market to consumers, you could give businesses a cost over the phone just like any other business, just on a per person level.

Have you thought about allowing different, unrelated employers to combine to insure one person? A lot of people find that a part time job does not give them enough hours to be insured, so they get a second job, but don't get enough hours there either, and end up working 40 hours with no insurance.

What about allowing different employers to pay parts of insurance, and another employer pays another part, to allow the employee to get insured?

A person just needs to come up with any amount of employers willing to pay the amount that adds up to 100% of the cost.

I'm finding there are a certain group of people who are really struggling socially, and to them this is a good thing, even with the risks. Some people lost their whole social network when the office went home, and they long for it to come back.

As a person who can only handle so much social interaction, it is baffling, but to others, it is baffling to stay home all the time.

Yes, especially common in the bread and chip aisles. Third-party stockers come in and replace the inventory. Same with soda.

How did you get in contact with investors? I went to the accel website but I can't tell what role they play.

It helps people start a business by helping them find the right software and acts as a starting point for research. It's half-baked because writing content is very difficult and energy consuming. But hiring writers just gets you crap. Its difficulty to make money if words don't flow.
