I love ZenPayroll. Thought this might be related, but it's not.

Are they ran by the same people? I ask because: http://www.zenefits.com/ZenPayroll

We love Zenpayroll, but, sadly, no official relationship despite the name.

Is solving the health insurance problem to single founders / freelancers much more difficult than 2 founders? or is it much smaller market? Honest question, because as far as I understand both Zenefits and SimplyInsured (both YC13 and pretty similar market) do not address the |company| < 2 market.

2 People and then you can get group insurance plans. Usually there are a completely different set of plans for groups and individuals. The forms and application process is different. The group process is usually more difficult,which I guess is why that is what they are trying to solve. Individual insurance is already as simple as filling out a form online.
