 It is amusing the reason many jobs are considered "good" jobs is quite often based on health coverage rather than "this is a great place to work" or "it pays well". hmm ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's a bargaining chip to use against unions too, they could get a much better deal overall if healthcare was removed from the discussion entirely

This is really very true. With the way my job is going I probably would have quit by now and spent all day every day looking for a better job. But with three kids and a wife on my health... I'm completely handcuffed.
