(Source: Yahoo!News)

“Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive.” That’s the conclusion drawn by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) as reported in a Yahoo!News post by writer Shomik Sen Bhattacharjee. The article goes on to explain Sanders’ position, which advocates severing health insurance from employment, a move he suggests would remove the frustration of being unable or unwilling to seek more favorable work without worrying about healthcare coverage. And he’s not alone: “Economists and federal auditors have dubbed the dynamic Sanders highlights “job lock,” when workers stay in positions they might otherwise leave for fear of losing affordable coverage,” the article’s author notes.
