Health

and for the moment removing any allowances (e.g., ACA, FMLA, COBRA - and TG Democrats that those exist!) that might negate anything below, cuz not everybody in all states, or working for small companies or self employed have options

You have to think twice about making changes in your life because of insurance concerns - coverage, cost, availability if you

1. Want to go back to school
2. Need to care for someone for an extended period of time.
3. Move
4. Want to travel
5. Want to go to a doctor or to another state not covered by your insurance
6. Need to leave a bad marriage where your insurance is tied to your spouse

I’m sure there are other examples. Now I am specifically not giving this a name because some people shut down and won’t listen the minute you do that but

Wouldn’t it be nice to not panic if you lost your job because your insurance was not linked to that?

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to care for someone else, move, travel, etc., if none of these events/activities required you to stop and think of the consequences?

Wouldn’t it be great if you wanted to branch out and start your own business, be an independent contractor, spend time inventing things because NONE OF these things impacted your healthcare?

Wouldn’t it be nice if you had an asshole for a boss and could go to another job knowing your healthcare would not be impacted?

Wouldn’t it be nice if the cost of insurance wouldn’t be higher working for a small company.

We all pay for insurance one way or the other. Change the method by which we pay and none of the above examples would get in the way of living our lives


Americans don’t know what freedom means in healthcare but this would be freedom for me.

As always, follow the money.
