Maksim Tsvetovat and Tatyana Kanzaveli say they doubt they could have started their data-collection company, Open Cancer Network, without Obamacare.
Tsvetovat, 37 and the father of a four-year-old boy, said he was hesitant to quit his job as chief technology officer at a consulting firm and lose his health coverage. Even more crucially, Kanzaveli, 50, was diagnosed with colon cancer in January, less than two months after her contract job with an investment company ended. Her condition left her unable to purchase new medical insurance.
