Is this actually a thing? People stayed at their jobs and never wanted a better job because of their health insurance? It almost seems like something the Obama political machine made up to sell Obamacare to the masses.Originally Posted by Latrinsorm
I've worked at a few different places during my lifetime and I can never recall anyone saying "Oh man, I'm stuck at this job forever because if I found a better job I would lose my health insurance!" In fact, the exact opposite seemed to always be true; people were always complaining that they wanted to find a better job, even at places where the pay and benefits were pretty gosh darn good.
Yes, I have heard of people losing their jobs and thus losing their health insurance and thus being screwed, but the idea that people were stuck in their dead end jobs forever and could never get a better job because of their health insurance? Is that real? Oh, wait, "was" that real? Because apparently Obamacare fixed it.
Have any stats, Latrin? How often did this type of scenario pop up?
