> It is really kind of crazy, if you think about it, how closely the quality of our healthcare and the healthcare of our dependents is tied to the company we choose to be working for at the moment.

It's insane when you think about it from a people/citizen or a rational point of you. It's great if you are a large company because you get tremendous tax breaks for providing healthcare options and of course it heavily ties down an employee to the company.

It's why companies love H1B visas. It ties employees to the company else they get deported.

In the US, our system is so geared to capital and companies that such nonsense is allowed. Anything that gives an advantage to corporations, owners, business.
