I think they should be auctioned off. (Either the company or the individual could pay the final auction price.)

The end result is the same: the most valuable workers are let in. It'd also have a small, but nice benefit: a voluntary revenue stream for the US to spend on whatever it would like (perhaps improved education and training for citizens).

This is one of the things I proposed in a comprehensive high-skilled visa reform proposal: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_yEsHOtzN3yZ3JoYXlTdDh0R0k...

Never really got around finishing it and pushing it out tough, although I am curious to see what the feedback is on it.

I just made a separate post for discussion on it as it goes a little out of scope of the subject of H1-Bs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7550560

I imagine that would not work well for startups, though.
