When I was young and healthy this wouldn't have bothered me but as I have gotten much older and have some health issues I have needed good insurance and used it a lot over the last decade.

I'm glad that I have great insurance for free through my employer and have for the last 25 years but it is also the thing that will keep me working.

I could retire so much earlier if I didn't need insurance coverage. It won't be money keeping me working. I honestly have plenty of that and I'm just stockpiling more into savings and investments. It's the insurance that is keeping me tied to my job.

Good point here. Im on track to retire in my early 60s but I have a feeling, just with some health issues Ive had in my late 30s, that Ill be tied to a job just for the insurance.
