[QUOTE="Speedwell, post: 74516503, member: 387171"] Nothing, really, as long as it is a uniform benefit so a person can changes jobs easily with losing anything and if it is also available at reasonable cost to entrepreneurs and the self-employed. Employer-provided health insurance is actually an accident of history unknown before WWII when it was invented by employers competing for a shrinking civilian workforce and prevented by a wage freeze from offering traditional salary inducements. There is certainly nothing inevitable about it. I have the impression that you want to tie it to employment because you imagine a large pool of people who are able to work but choose not to and you don't want to give them anything for free, but that is largely a conservative myth.
